- LA BICYCLETTE.

La bicyclette vieulle was on Bleecker and Elizabeth
The basket had no flowers that night
He placed the girl on the bicycle basket
started paddling
Are you warm?
So warm that I can
cease breathing now happy she replied

No, as long as I am behind you on this ride
You shall never stop breathing

La bicyclette nouvelle is close to East Broadway
There was no basket at all last night
He placed the ego all around the new green bicycle
she had gone to get for him
started mumbling
Are you cold?
So cold that I can
cease breathing now sad she thought

No, as long as you are not behind me on this ride
I shall still continue breathing

Life is a straight line
Not bi-cycles as she believed
A phone call that was never returned
His biggest ally has always been; Julie
but Julie never knew how to breathe only his love -
Les pas des amants de Julie
