2.NEW ORLEANS:A GATE TO THE SEVEN SEAS OF ARTS


ENTREE
Crescent of constellation
is crescent of love
Love rides on the river
River runs from the lake to the gulf
Gulf is the river and the lake
Canal crawls to show them all
Canals make boulevards
now with coffee in cafe
in boulevards 
and street cars
The gates of Vieux Carre are open  
now to lay in 
the carriage of your mind
and imagination
in Cafe du Monde
Marble fruits standing by marble fruits
It's been years I've been looking for 
a bronze woman by the fountain
I found her now being moved away 
from Faulkner
to the back of French Market
She looked like a fruit lady
sitting in the sun 
I sat again beside her
and Said took our picture
Bidjan asked if she was lookinf for him
I said 
you better send her our pic
she will be bronzed happy.
Let's stand tall in front of wrought iron fence and balcony
Let's be called New Orleans!

NEW ORLEANS
