The Web Poetry Corner - Oscar Pelta - Cursed and Blessed

Cursed and Blessed

by

Oscar Pelta

Billy Grippo,
Top Producer,
Real Estate name on a bench
displayed at the great circle,
with its chintz gilded Joan of Arc
lance armed upon her great gold steed,
at the ready for a joust,
on N.E. 39th
where Glisan flows around into Hassalo,
Great river town
with its cool modesty
resplendent with tall pines.
Ah to be indolent in Portland,
clutching guitars and mandolins,
to drink strong coffee
in the late morning
on Division,
come back
and practice
all the live-long day,
Ah to flee from Halihornia
with its skinny millionaires
with their youth & tech bravado
& their multi-many money shares,
comes time for mean old farts
to fade from Alphatown
& move to beta
there to practice
the Art of Loss.
