Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Corner store,
Hole in the wall,
loaded for every need

A story of Storyville and how its
done down in the Big Easy
Inspectors and the men in blue
On the make, on the take
Look the other way for a stake

Brash and bare
owner and soapbox,
Ready audience –
Transplanted northerner,
interested transient

Bag of cold crawdads
Spicy and fresh
Twist and eat, such fingers
Carcasses in the drum by my feet
Drinking in the yarn
Of the storyteller.
