‘Un admirateur…’ by Simon Parke

“Tell me about mysticism.”
“Why?”
“It sounds exciting.”
“Oh.”
“I’m weary of people and weary of work. I require higher and more spiritual things!”
“Then go away.”
“Go away?! I’ve only just arrived!”
“Go away.”
“That is so rude, and me one of your biggest fans!”
“Come back when you’re weary of higher and more spiritual things and require work and people.”

Un admirateur déçu :

“Explique-moi le mysticisme !”
“Pourquoi ?”
“Cela semble excitant.”
“Ah !”
“Les autres m’ennuient. Le travail m’ennuie. J’ai besoin de quelque chose de plus stimulant spirituellement.”
“Alors, va-t’en !”
“M’en aller ? Je viens juste d’arriver.”
“Va-t’en !”
“Pourquoi être si grossier ? Je suis pourtant un de tes plus fervents admirateurs !”
“Reviens me voir quand les choses plus stimulantes spirituellement t’ennuieront et que tu auras besoin de travail et des autres.”
