Light loves to teach darkness subtle lessons
In French, even insults contain music
Mistakes in the dark create happy sons
The laughter of old cities is rustic
It knows that even aristocrats fart
Gas burns to fill the streets with small fresh stars
Paris is a kitchen that makes sweet art
Secrets that burn states are told in its bars
Ancient streets make automobiles nervous
Antique cobblestones joke at their expense
Some nights are to glum sleep impervious
Even the cigarettes feel the suspense
Nocturnal recreation makes nations
Capable of daylight innovations
