France is on fire,
and the streets
are full of angry
masked men rioting
and looting,
we cancel our long awaited
trip to that once
beautiful country.
it seems they have
no government in charge.
sadly,
i toss my new black beret
into the coat
closet,
put my red scarf on a hook.
i shelve
the Michelin rated
restaurant
guide and
set aside the English
to French
Dictionary.
why even keep
a conversion chart
turning dollars
into Euros?
maybe next year, if
the country still exists
we'll try again,
but
will the Mona Lisa
survive?
will the Eiffel Tower
and the Arc De Triomphe
come tumbling down
at the hands
of crazies
before we arrive?
