proust’s poetry

marcel proust drawing poem 58

“little project of sweet stained glass
to make it was a pain in the ass
on the left are Félicie and Marie
who wash clothes and complain incessantly.
on the right Buninuls cannot open Legras powder
and Binchdinuls comes for alumsinum
Buninuls helps by knee and arms
Binchdinuls is divided by a gothic column
everything here to show Binchdinuls what day it is
not a day goes by without sending a little inscripartus.”
