Déjeuner du matin
Il a mis le café Dans la tasse Il a mis le lait Dans la tasse de café Il a mis le sucre Dans le café au lait Avec la petite cuiller Il a tourné Il a bu le café au lait Et il a reposé la tasse Sans me parler Il a allumé Une cigarette Il a fait des ronds Avec la fumée Il a mis les cendres Dans le cendrier Sans me parler Sans me regarder Il s'est levé Il a mis Son chapeau sur sa tête Il a mis Son manteau de pluie Parce qu'il pleuvait Et il est parti Sous la pluie Sans une parole Sans me regarder Et moi j'ai pris Ma tête dans mes mains Et j'ai pleuré. |
Breakfast
He put the coffee Into the cup He put the milk Into the cup of coffee He put the sugar Into the coffee with milk With the small spoon He stirred He drank the coffee with milk And he put down the cup Without to me speaking He lit A cigarette He made circles With the smoke He put the ash Into the ashtray Without speaking to me Without looking at me He got up He put His hat on his head He put on His raincoat Because it was raining And he left Under the rain Without a word Without me looking at And me, I took My face in my hands And I cried. |
I think she is crying because she does not get acknowledge for the things that she does for the man that she lives with, and all the time that she spends doing those things. I believe that she wishes that he would just speak to her so that she knows that he notices she is there.

Does it say anywhere in the poem that they are husband and wife?
Could this be a poor, tired mother running around after her teenage lad?

I think that she is crying because she feels that she is being used by the man in the video, I think that she is getting fed up because she does all this work for him and doesn't even get thanked !!!!!!!!!

She cries because he doesn't seem to acknowledge she is there, he seems to just use her for coffee on a morning.
