Le voyage des mots

Pour un art poétique
Prenez un mot prenez en deux
faites les cuire comme des oeufs
prenez un petit bout de sens
puis un grand morceau d’innocence
faites chauffer à petit feu
au petit feu de la technique
versez la sauce énigmatique
saupoudrez de quelques étoiles
poivrez et mettez les voiles.
Où voulez-vous donc en venir ?
A écrire vraiment ?
A écrire ?
Raymond Queneau.
