The Guillaume Poet Simulacrum
La Chanson de Guillaume
twelfth century, unnamed
About
Ten syllables, ten syllables — and then a line of six: Monday at evening. Nothing happens in it. It carries no news. But your ear was running and I cut it short, and you looked up, and what you looked up at was that another day had gone. The other song has one disaster. Mine has the same field lost three times. How many days had passed when you noticed?
