FORD MUSTANG

Translation by Mick Harvey


Your mind goes BLANK
In a FORD MUSTANG
And BANG
You're embracing the petrol tank
MUS on the left, TANG on the right
And all over the site

A windscreen-wiper
A packet of KOOL
A BADGE with the inscription
KEEP COOL
A bar of CHOCOLAT
A COCA-COLA

A bottle of
FLUID MAKE-UP
A FLASH
A BROWNING
A guitar PICK-UP
The collected works
Of EDGAR ALLAN POE
A plain brass ZIPPO

An edition of
SUPERMAN
Stuff from the house of
PACO RABANNE
A photo of MARILYN
A pack of ASPIRIN

Your mind goes BLANK
In a FORD MUSTANG
And BANG
You're embracing the petrol tank
MUS on the left, TANG on the right
And to the left and the right
