Lavigny - Day 13

Perhaps We Could Edit?

And when the journalist asked
"And is there anything particularly
Swiss
that you are putting in your book?"
my manners, shamefully, deserted me.
"Oh yes, of course.
A villain."
I'm sorry I said so now.
It's no return for
the way the mountains hover
in the mist,
the flawless beauty
of the children,
the elegant importunity
of cats,
la glace
pistache ...
Jealousy of so much
so much
is no excuse
for being rude.
I'm sorry I said so now.
Even if it's true.
