essential

"(...) France que mon coeur aimer doit"
Charles d'Orléans


Normally I do not care that much
if my language's spoken or not
I know that I will be diving
in it next time in Paris
but there's no time this time
the tunnel got stuck:
some hot on cold or cold on hot
with metal? (I'm not too sure and who cares?
This is the work of the engineers)
and I fear I cannot breathe, I fear I cannot breathe
as I have not reached the island, my island of France
and I feel like the poet, ages ago, who was made a prisonner
and saw France from Dover.

"We continue to strongly advise customers whose journeys are not essential not to travel"
Now you define essential.
