BLUES
OGDEN GALLERY BLUES
I am eating too much drinking too much
Rough men with red faces are shouting at me
on the streets of the Vieux Carre´ While a giant
black rocking horse covered in Mardi Gras beads
is threatening to carry me home
A man in a white cap & yellow coat says:
Oh you are perfect baby perfect I came to see
art & now there is you
While my husband and brother jump into a cab
without me! Abandoned there like a motherless
child on the shores O’ the great Mississippi –
