No, Lèon Robinson is a character from Louis Celine's Journey to the End of the Night. His life seemed to me very amusing. He serves almost no purpose throughout the novel except turning up now and then in the 'journey' of the protagonist.. I really liked him. So, the title and the poem is in reference to him. I was myself feeling like Lèon Robinson when I wrote the poem, as if I were turning up in someone else's (read the 'girl with the glass') journey without really any reason or purpose, and at the end of it, I would die.. I knew all she said was a hoax, and still loved her... This poem was an almost prophecy of things to come, that I would, too, one day be shot and will be dead...
