FEU ! La main sur son cœur. Je suis innocent. Mais on a coupé les ficelles. Il se casse en trois. DÉFENSE D'AFFICHER. DÉFENSE DE DÉPOSER DES ORDURES. DÉFENSE DE STATIONNER. Allons ouste ! On ne dort pas là. Ces soldats sont de faux soldats. Ce concert en plein air est de la musique de chambre. Savez-vous que les mouches bleues logent dans le violoncelle ? Savez-vous que le violoncelle est un nid de guêpes méchantes ? Tu es ivre de ton vin rouge qui sort partout, pauvre sourd, aux yeux bandés comme l’amour.
