The Ecphorizer
The Lady |

The lady is on parade;
show and tell is the party's rage,
her self-esteem:
Tina's hand and college name,
Jeffrey's Porsche and potted friends;
with her five of Scotch
proudly count the daughter's form
and glands with husband Bud's estate, and,
I might enumerate,
Gerard's new design,
her blouse along the Seine,
her syntax, nouveau riche,
and warrior paint.

He sends us poetry from the unpoetic depths of Los Angeles. The ability of the human spirit to transcend the mundate is truly marvelous.
