INTERPRETIVE ARTS

Here are four poems from Lady G's second book of poetry, Caught Again.

I WEAR A HAT
by Gail M. Feldman

I wear a hat
and walk like death, or George Raft
and no one laughs at me.
I wear armor,
my heart on my tin-can sleeve,
cut to shreds, rapier-style.
(I can mix my Renaissances
with my Dark Ages; no one
is going to test me on it --
not as long as I display
ma panache....)
I wear pistols
and walk bow-legged, in pain
but so well protected.
I wear stockings
and vamp like a spastic whore,
caught again, caught again.


LAURA
by Gail M. Feldman

Depression's not a pit;
you can't fall in.
The apple actress
grows around the core.
If the core is untrue
you grow around you.

TRUTH
by Gail M. Feldman

The disney snow spun slantwiseIf I were drunk (and I am) and I cared (which I do)
would then teh harsh weather rign and the silent

song serve?

No! The sun would surrender.
The cool coverlet would rule. The everyday madness
would subside and the special sanity point
the way, the ever-rare sight pinpoint
folly, focus on finality, never mind facts, but truth!
Truth would claim its niche in the neverending.
Trth would blast fact from the forum, truth would shave
every stubble
of seemingness
from the face of real, real you and me --
the Odd's Gonest Truth!
That is, if I were drunk, and I am.
If I were sober, and I'm not, would then
the mild climate rule, and the raucous rhyme serve?
No! The clown would surrender.
The blank bureaucrat would reign. The everyday
saneness

would usurp what the special mindset deserved.
The way! The ever-charmed personage
of the mindless! Such finality! Never mind truth,
but facts!

Facts would claim their niche in the all-consuming.
Facts would blast truth from the forum, facts would
hide

each verity
each beingness
from the body of real you and me -- our blank, factless truth!
That is, if I were sober -- ah, but....
