In Paris with Youis recounted by a (the
narrator
) whose relationship has just ended and who is now in Paris with someone else (
"I'm on the rebound"). This suggests a long-term relationship has ended and the speaker is currently enjoying a less serious liaison. The narrator doesn't want to examine the aftermath of the serious relationship: he doesn't want to talk things over or even visit galleries or landmarks; he just wants to enjoy the moment rather than thinking of the future or the past.

The Flaneur in Charles Baudelaire's poem "A Une Passante"
Laertes wants to return to his native country of Ithaca in the epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer.
a poem about a poem.
"Salut monde dont je suis la langue éloquente que sa bouche O Paris tire et tirera toujours aux allemands." Greetings world, I am the eloquent tongue which pokes from your mouth, O Paris, to forever poke at the Germans. I was looking for this translation and ended up translating it myself. I borrowed from Claudia Habergham's translation, which made excellent use of the English word "poke" in a very tricky situation. The poem can be read as a tongue in cheek or glib joke or as a defiant provocation to the Germans. Ironically, the German army marched into Paris 25 or so years after he wrote this poem. See Claudia's English translation of the calligram poem at Stephen Spender's Trust.
Paris was not a Greek god. He was the son of the king of Troy and he fell in love with Helen. She was the married Queen of Sparta. Paris abducted her and started a war between the Trojans and Spartans when Menelaus, husband of Helen and King of Sparta went after them. Helen was known in the ancient world as the most beautiful woman of her day. Was this the face that launched a thousand ships? - first line of a poem by C. Marlowe
It is a poem which tells you that you can't write a poem. :)
Paris was the judge of the contest for the Golden Apple between the goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. He gave it to the latter, who promised him the hand of the most beautiful woman in the world in marriage. That woman was Helen of Sparta, wife of Menelaus, King of Sparta. Paris and his brother Hector were sent in envoy to Sparta to celebrate peace, but Paris and Helen stole away together in the night, giving Menelaus cause to go to his brother Agamemnon and take the Achaeans to war.
