Apart from tenements, clothes line
stoop side characters
drive by; drive thru
rows of Queen Anne's
Mother, Daughter
Dutch, English tudors
gas lit Harwich Port lampposts
removed replicas from piccadilly circus
attache' full of Woody . . .
organically grown
never expected; well protected
flame to her black and mild cigar
blowing stacks to Toots brilliance
"Breakfast at Tiffany's"
we are so inconspicuous
go ahead babe . . . capture the crescent
ornament in the sky with no string
"amazing!!!" are you high?
let's do that drive by
Eddie's Sweet Shop
drop offs, pick ups
under eggshell hues
this is my friend
a wise guy and one millionaire
she is a poet; a friend of mine
we all laugh
out of our slick corner mouth's
narrow lies; twisted trues
forget Armani suits
he rather wear lee jeans; mountain boots
his Bushmaster AR-15 just in case we have to blow this gig
gather inside Pampas
a round table crowded hot pans shellfish, chicken paella
Argentine beef, oil fused wild mushrooms bedded scalloped smooth potatoes
now we eat, drink wine, pontificate
political rhetoric funding anew revolt
with Wall Street Occupied
under siege by the 99%
there she sits with the 1%
a poor poet
sourcing undercurrents of illegal interest
an evening where money really matters . . .

Dear Lepadah, my name is Elena Palmer, i am a journalist with Russian origin (see wiki). I feel very attracted by James Patterson's life story and would like to contact him in order to write about him. Do you think it's possible to talk to him one day? I kind of expect him not that open for contacts, and can understand why, but, from the other side, without media his life story, his mother's life story can get lost. Pls, contact me at: elenapalmer07@yahoo.de
ReplyDeleteDear Elena, thank you for your interest regarding my cousin James Patterson who is currently residing in Washington D.C. We are concern mostly for his health at present. But I am sure he would if possible entertain your interest in his story as well his mother. I will contact you via email and give you a contact number in North Carolina to speak with my cousin Bertram Hamilton.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
