AL FRESCO CAFÉ POEM #184
RENATA POEM: THE BIRTH OF THE AUTHOR # 22
Self-satisfaction
At Captiva
Self-
Satisfaction
With an
out patience cocktail a churchgoer cocktail
A back seat cocktail
An eye closer
A nightcap
One for the road
In a wicker chair under a beach umbrella
Good cheer among smiles
Smiles smiles
Smiles
Let sleeping dogs lie
After the praise the celebration
the proliferation
Of an artistic quack
No mourning black arm band around the part
of the sleeve
That
Covered barbell biceps and barbell concepts
For murder of art
Be as merry as the day is long
Gleeful about
The sense of virtue decorum prestige
That came from the closing of eyes
And following a quack*
*This is a late poem of Renata’s shoe period.
