CONCERTO FOR 2 PIANOS

Joyeux Anniversaire, Joëlle*

(if I can't wish it in person, I'll use all the media I can)

When we meet in Paris next week, 

we'll go straight you-know-where

we'll order one of EVERYTHING - or two

with tea or coffee

Non, non, non,

something more in keeping with the day -we'll pretend it still is.

it will all pale in comparison to your present to me:

 all this 

and mostly sharing it all with you!
