Colorado Ave.

"Colorado Ave"
by James Gagnon
24in x 30in, canvas and acrylic





part-time pine street

pink skies crying
white wine and poetical prose
rain in waves
between degrees of decadence
porched solitarily
with thoughts of lifestylish leaps
left steps or long jogs
while the wind brings
sounds from street level
ambitious and homeless
every week another issue
like lou says have a tissue
melodies without microphones
found far from phoenix
where whims while wantonly
d.j. jauntily jams
no longer going over-heeled
notorious and subliminal
wine from lesser grapes last
licked from your 'stache
what does the sky say
tonight when troubles weigh
tonnage and torque turning radius
too much technique to tally
spray painted packaging
poorly purveyed petulance
made in portland
part-time pine street
