with the free time
the right input
fruit, water, vegetable
I become once more a demigod
once more insatiable
and all my targets
are very much an asset
saying something of the man
who let history happen
as part of his excellent plan
to manufacture beauty

I will manufacture beauty
if I can
I must become some kind of artist
with a steady and accomplished hand
I must learn to orchestrate the music
daily, nightly, now
because the summer is almost here
and that's when it all comes out

give me a little more time
a little more input
and I will be ready again
to improve
give me a little more freedom
a little more sun
and I will be coming, Claudine,
for you
