What is the poem talking about? What is the theme of this poem?
“Leaving Paris”
by PAUL KAREEM TAYYAR
The larger the church the
More I felt that Bram Stoker should have been mounted upon the cross
Instead of Jesus
By the time I walked into Saint Sulpice
With its three story organ and its invisible player with a limited knowledge of chords
I was certain my neck was bleeding
The Belgian chapels were more my style
With their open doors and their minimal stained glass and their riverside gardens
The nuns didn’t mind if you slept in all afternoon
Either way it was the old ladies on bicycles I most remember
Ringing their bells with a smile to alert you of their presence their handlebar baskets
Filled with baguettes and fruit and lace scarves in case of the weather turning
That night in front of the last church at the edge of town
I felt like a cowboy in an old western who had awoken from an afternoon sleep
To find his hat missing and his horse run off and every woman he’d ever rode out
On waiting for him in the water
The Theme is that the secularization of religion is a betrayal of the faith.
Mr. Tayyar unequivocally states (quite correctly) that religion is destroyed when society has changed it throughout time through enlarging the things that do not matter(he alludes to larger churches, more ornate decorations, more music, etc..) He points out that the simpler aspects of religion, (small chapels instead of cathedrals, nuns smiling, bikes are simple, an open door inviting you in) when referencing the old way, and the simple way. Note that he is equating the secularized church with a vampire, basically an evil creature, one that is not in the light, ie.. in graces with god.
The end is awkward, however it does convey the notion that he is still uncomfortable entering the secularized cathedral.
