le coup de main

maintenant que tu ne peux
plus te tenir droite toute
seule bien que tu puisses
encore te gonfler à bloc je
suis forcé de te soutenir
avec ma main pour t’aider
à aller
où tu veux aller
aujouird’hui
pendant que je te sous-tiens
avec ma main je te sens
gonfler encore plus
et plus je te serre
plus tu gonfles
et ensemble
alors
on arrive là où tu voulais
aller


a helping hand
now that you can
no longer hold yourself
straight alone though you
can still expand
fully
I have to give you a hand
to help you get where you
want to go
today
while I guide you on I can
feel you expanding some
more and the tighter my
hand holds you the more
expanded you become
and then
we arrive where you
wanted to go

a little bilingual self-explanatory poem came to me today

the form is important
 
Un coup de main contre les coups de pompes
 
is that a bottle opener?
 
you guys have such a dirty mind
it's just a mini banana
 
The form is important.
