Between the walls
of 35 in chains of straight
falling in line
she hovers over coral beads
stringing them to simple
chains
while the poet strings his
words.
Art entrepreneur Mr T
moves between piled up
reports
appraisals of his father’s
great works of art
spinning letters for possible
sponsors
ordering staff about.
Annoyed. Deyonna.
Mrs I R has given up on
waiting for her hubby of
55 years
of which 20 was for waiting
for him
she claims.
The artist keeps his head
above water
while the poet drowns
in a Sea of Greed.
Between these two personalities
in one man
a disciplined mind keeps
balance of mind and soul
in midst of meagre earnings
as the mound of debt owed
to the poet
RISES. SESIR.
