food first
i miss the food in
provence
the way it was honored and respected
and came first not a quick pit stop
in the drag race of life
but a leisurely love of qualite
food first
you can continue without movies
or cars or soap operas real or televised
but a place that puts food in its proper space
has its priorities correct
and much good flows from that choice
if a choice it is
americans can not guess how it got to be that way
you can't get there from here
it's all intertwined
the wine the lavender the olives the bread
the open air markets and cafes
they lean upon each other
and the citizen supports them all
fresh croissants every day
at bruno's little cafe
if no one pays for them he would stop
but it is inconceivable
and so twenty arrive every morning
ready for my liberal elite latte
and my brutal effort to chat futbol en francais
bruno is patient
and the shutters against the stone houses
matching the doors
i miss that as well
the way it was honored and respected
and came first not a quick pit stop
in the drag race of life
but a leisurely love of qualite
