Oh, to be nothing ...

I'm reading an essay by Camus about Oran * - 

I think that I should be smoking a crumpled Gauloise -  

I treasure each sentence as though it were a beautiful sun seared pebble -  

I should be getting my shoes polished in the Boulevard Gallieni -

I'd watch Les Clarques promenade under the enclosing sky - 

I'd drink bitter coffee in an empty cafe -

I'd hear the anthem of long afternoons - 

Oh, to be nothing -
