"birkin" poems
It started with the wide-leg Giorgio Armani pants
And it all went downhill from there.
They were so chic, and might improve her stance,
She could wear them to the market, hell, almost anywhere!
When she put them in her shopping cart
And continued to enter her credit card number,
A shot went right through her fashion-hungry heart
A jolt she still remembers!
It was the feeling of a new era
A new time in the lifespan of her wardrobe.
She would become a Prada-shopper, a vintage Chanel-wearer
No longer would she need to shuffle around her apartment in that awful bathrobe.
She'd strut down the street, sporting her Carolina Herrera.
A month later, a tingle slipped through her spine
As she donned a lapis Michael Kors
It was that sudden thought, "This dress is all mine!"
"It's mine now, so it isn't yours!"
From then on, it was her bank account that took the hardest hits
Money trickled through her Valentino-studded hands,
Down her Vera **** hips,
Came running down in thin, green strands.
Of course it all came falling apart when she saw the flawless Birkin bag,
Sitting there in the Hermes shop window
She knew it was the one thing she'd yet to snag!
However, there was just one thing she didn't know.
As she had the cashier ring it up,
Dropping another ten-grand
The cashier had her card snatched right up!
For this, Madame Fashion couldn't stand.
"Give it back!", she said, snapping her gold-dusted finger
"But dear you're overdrawn," said the snappy lady.
How she wanted to scream like soprano opera singer!
It was then that things got real shady.
In a lurch of madness, Madame jumped the counter!
The other shoppers were struck into awe and fear.
The cashier woman tried to stop her,
But Madame had just barely escaped, finally in the clear!
As she ran down fifth avenue, clutching her precious steal
A horrible revelation took over this felon,
She'd forgotten that she had wanted the purse in gorgeous teal!
Instead she had gotten melon.

Jeg tager bøgerne ud af reolen og bladrer manisk siderne igennem
For at finde en sætning
Eller blot et ord
Dedikeret til os
Finde sammenlignelige, naive digtere for at prøve at bevise
At der i andre tider levede nogle som os
Gående op og ned ad de samme gader
Med fingrene flettede på præcis samme måde
Nogle som os med delt spyt, som vugges med hovedet hvilende på den andens bryst og dette blik, dette hjem vi har skabt i hinanden
Men ikke det mest sortklædte firserpar, der skiftes til at tage et sug af deres delte Gauloises
Ikke Strunge’s bankende brystlomme, nej, ikke engang Gainsbourg og Birkin, ikke Tafdrup eller Thomsen, ingen, nej, nej vi må være guder i al vores almindelighed, guder der køber cola i kiosken, guder når du skyller sveden af mig, vi må være engle når du ligger med dit hoved så fredeligt på puden, dine øjenvipper der ligner fjer og dit rytmiske åndedrag
Vi må være søskende, skilt ad ved fødslen
Skulle vi ikke skamme os, for alt det blod vi har delt
Skulle det ikke være forbudt, ulykkeligt
Skulle vi ikke love hinanden
At lukke øjnene til hver en tid
Skærme os fra solen

I may have missed out on life's little things,
like winning an Oscar, a Grammy.
I sure have gained life's big things,
like being the best in the school play
and singing in the choir.
I never got the Nobel Prize ever,
So I settled for the big prizes instead.
Hugs from my friends and
that look from my crush.
Somehow never desired little things
money could buy - a Birkin or a Ferrari.
But cherished the big things
money could never buy,
**the bag mum knit and
the high of riding on dad's shoulders.**
I miss those days when games meant,
Hide and Seek, I spy, Blind man's buff, Cops and Robbers.
Games were not downloaded then.
I miss the times when trips meant
camping in the backyard.
Those days days when
the tooth fairy and Santa did visit me.
I would love to have one more day
to live that carefree life again...

A night united together
For the very first time
Around the amish time
Inside this French Bistro
Surrounded by the glamorous duo
Gainsbourg & Birkin
Wrapping up the ambiant air
French musical undertones
Deep green velvets hues
Ilona, the Host of the Soirée
Walking as if she is dancing
With her irrepressible bubbliness
Serving us drinks & oysters
... Zee oysters ...
Taking their last breaths
In the fading ice
Indulging the no-teeth treatment
Is it a tragedy?
I dunno...I guess we will never know
Two Hirondelles lost in time
The time flying by
We are now the last guests of the Soirée
The clock ticking by
Its time to leave this place
And those two Rock Stars
We are leaving behind
I knew you were trouble from the very first time
But ahhhhh, so refreshing, so alike...
A night united together
For the very first time
