A bench opposite Zanoni’s
At the first time meetings
Are relaxed by regulations
Serves as a meeting point
For the poet and his pal P.I.
Haute couture meastro.
With the pandemic in retreat
The artist being in his person’s
Carapace
Hopes to realize his first
Viennese exhibition.
Alas! The circumstances of
Financing the fete –
Only possible by a friend’s
Discount on reasonable fees
Unfortunately for all involved
The pandemic Covid 19
Has dealt bad cards for the
Hard trying artist
Only his other part –
The poet has described his
Sufferings
He had to surmount
But life had toughened him up
To such an extent
He’ll work extra hard to earn
The cash needed for his
Hopefull exhibition of ZG
His other half
His balanced half cares about
Having earned him already
Some dividends.
Waiting for his collocutor
Human warmth and hard-nosed
Business-woman
In one carapace
Like the gentle poet and the
Inventive artist –
TWO IN ONE –
An interesting friendship
Evolving.
