In a certain scruffy little side-street of Toulouse, mainly notable for for the sale of tagines, drugs and knocked-off cigarettes, you will find an equally scruffy but remarkably agreeable bar, about the size of a postage stamp. Of a Thursday evening, it's full of students, eccentrics, the odd poseur and jazz. If that brings to mind bearded old traddie purists pontificating over pints of real ale, it may come as a shock that jazz is cool music for the young in France. I thought the place was great so I tried to capture the atmosphere in this poem. |
