Poetry Night
Published:
It's Tuesday night and open mike night just 2 blocks away at Club Fred. The Freds are Fred Flintstone, Fred Astaire, Fred Mertz, etc, all in the mural. It's only $2 cover and $2 drinks and if you can hang 'til about 10:30 free pizza arrives from Pacifica Pizza, the best around. It's been months and months since I went over there. The gal in charge wanted to run some kind of far out beat-nic music behind my poems and just never connected to that. I thought I'd get in the groove by posting a poem here first. This one about money seems appropriate for LP. (wish me luck)
IF YOU'E GOT MONEY
If you've got money
and you're cold
you can start the fire,
you don't save newspaper
for lining your attire.
If you've got money
and you're tan,
it came when you were pool-side,
not waiting for a van,
not from picking peas
or hussling on your knees.
If you're monied
and your ribs show, you're glad,
you spent a lot on that diet fad.
It's not from fainting hunger
drove you mad.
If you've got money
you've got friends
not because they like you
it's because you're twins.
If you've got money
but should lose it
thus and so--
visit the poor.
They will take you in--
because
they know. (aka TA)
