RIMAUD IN PARIS
“I suppose in a fortnight or so,
we shall be told he's been seen
in Paris. It's an odd thing, but
everyone who disappears is said
to be seen in Paris. It must be a
delightful city and possess all the
attractions of the next world.”
—Lord Henry Wotton, PORTRAIT OF
DORIAN GRAY

Like Miss Rimbaud I did the—
Paris Routine which caught
Miss Verlaine’s attention
I sought out the Parisian—
Poetic intelligentsia but
Got more than disappointed

Posing as Verlaine’s lover—
Didn’t do me much good
With the Parisian bourgeoisie
Being a young Ardennes—
Hood I like tres naturally
Offended about everybody
