We drink their wine
without speaking
their language
and we buy it up
from distribution centers
before they
have a chance
so waiting on them
on our turf
is an unenviable task
with a seeming
egotistical air
about them
they act elite
like they own
and can dispose of us
at their own free will
because they started
making great wine
before we did
and their current struggle
is to save the language
that if anyone
listens to
notices how aggressive
and harsh the words are
but maybe that's because
they had to come here
just
to
sip
their
own
French
whine.
