I'LL GO HOW ABOUT YOU
by Benjamin Peret
There was a big house
with a fire diver swimming on it
There was a big house
surrounded with kepis and golden helmets
There was a big house
full of glass and blood
There was a big house
standing in the middle of a swamp
There was a big house
whose master was made of straw
whose master was a beech tree
whose master was a letter
whose master was a hair
whose master was a rose
whose master was a sigh
whose master was a sharp turn
whose master was a vampire
whose master was a mad cow
whose master was a kick
whose master was a cavernous voice
whose master was a tornado
whose master was a capsized boat
whose master was the cheek of an ass
whose master was the Carmagnole
whose master was violent death
Tell me tell me where is the big house
Translated by Keith Hollaman
