I have a friend named Claudette

But we all call her Clo Clo

She is an actress

And is playing the lead in Phaedra

I am also an actor

And will playing Hippolytus

In the same production

We have a couple of intimate scenes together

And rehearse our roles in a mythological bath

We must not amplify our friendship

And do ordinary things together

I will buy the milk if you buy the coffee

The production has no importance

On our everyday lives

That is how we will shape our characters

Clo Clo and Dan walk through a city park

It is high summer and they could be lovers

But sometimes the brightest of colours

Can be found to be spilling white lies
