A summer in France
with my parents religion
and the heat, my God !
The heat that burnt and bathed us
And a girl went mad
The stroke, they all said later,
made her see visions
and I knew, knew, what they meant
Me, the atheist
I knew, a new God was there
in the fat, heat, born
In the dreams
from an old mans hand
My skeptical friend
Mass hysteria, he says
and, I, laugh, safe now
Away from the hot and the sureness
