Florence Manlik - Momus

Dandy lovers come and see

Manly Madame Spaghetti

Sprouting like a runner bean

Florence Manlik

She has got a band and she

Calls it Panda 43

Manly dandy chaotique

Florence Manlik

Pale blue eyes and clowny lipstick

Black and blue-haired schizophrenic

Monomaniac, masochistic

Florence Manlik

At 19 she left home

In a Citroen Deux Chevaux

To Marseilles and Paris to

Work on her art

She is always keen to see

People she would like to be

Spread out on the floor on three

Big sheets of paper

She’s still making art but she

Now can also make you sushi

But her great creative feat

Is admiration

Writes by hand a small and wiry

50 kilometer diary

Lives with Siamese and she

Swims like a cat

Hangs with Japanese and gay

Skeletons from unknown planets

Aliens are thin and fey

Fred’s from Marseilles

Always fascinated by

Things that she would like to try

Toured herself a hundred times

Now she’ll be you

Extraterrestrial dressed as human

Marilyn Manson, Gary Numan

Vampire girl for Gilles Weinzaepflen

Loves what she’s not

Elegante and eccentrique

Barely madder than a hatter

Manly madame spaghetti
