From Novel J’s

(poem ascribed to the Frenchman, Jean-Claude, l970, Translated 2019)

Je ne comprends rien…cette vie.
En effet, il n’y a aucune chose
que je comprends. Rien.
C’est seulement…
rien.

I understand nothing….this life
Indeed, there is no thing that I understand. Nothing
It is only…
nothing.
