“Paris is For Couples”
ancient steps to and from the seine
where a thousand year old
church
graces eyes and hearts
*
paris
is not just for
couples
but
couples’
hearts creating new pairs
*
the softened seine air
wraps thoughts
into blankets
holding
heart beats like love birds
nesting
in the city of love

On the Steps of the to the Quai of Notre Dame
it’s off-season here in paris, and yet throngs abound around places like notre dame
and almost each time we’ve needed help with directions or such, the native parisian or transplanted italian or south american, knows english, or spanish
in this case a young couple from kentucky asked if i could take their picture, and they then took ours
the air is spattered with languages, and our eyes pick up even the drift of one word of english
*
“you speak english?”
“yes, do you live here?”
“no, kentucky; you?”
“texas…”
“ahhh,” smiles
“well,” i say, “around here, texas and kentucky aren’t that far apart”
smiles and nods

ah beautiful…i missed this one….i so want to go…i love how you describe it in…but
couples’
hearts creating new pairs…smiles…great picture of the two of you as well…
thanks brian, we’re a 10-15 walk to notre dame, depending on if we’re awake or not
or how much (neat stuff) distracts us enroute 
you absolutely should come!
nice…yeah…the city of love…sounds like you’re having a great time… i love america but also looking forward to being back in europe soon…got all nostalgic when i watched the new james bond yesterday which plays — of course– partly in london…smiles
i think we’re gonna try and see it here in paris, french dubbed? hope not
we’ll be here through mid dec, let us know if you come to the city
and yeah, know what you mean ’bout missing home
you have a very astute comment about living in paris, and your very real challenges, esp with a child, on your site :
“I know that all of the above can happen in any city, any country but what separates Paris out from the rest of the world is that the prices are extortionate and the salaries do not support the cost of living and living relatively well.”
it’s not much consolation, when one is in the midst of your challenges, but i have to admit, i and many others have found many the same challenges in many cities in texas and vermont, the former which has a fairly low standard of living costs and relatively more jobs
so from my heart, my best wishes for you – and hope you’re still working on that romantic comedy
take care
