Chapter Poem by Olivier Cadiot

Tell me what book you are reading =
What book are you reading? Tell me.


The gardeners grow the flowers,
prune the trees and tend the park lanes

I made a book; I made a picture; I made a project.

- I ask you if
you are speaking in earnest, and why you have come. - Tell me
if it's true that you are angry with me. - How could I have known
that you were coming? - I don't know where you are going

- Even if you (leave)
I would stay. - Even if you (leave), I will stay
