Raspberries in January in Portland
Where did you come from, juicy little jewels?
You're so sweetly out of place
Confused in fact,
A little shadowy
UNSURE OF THE WHOLE SITUATION??
like a cryogenic time traveler!
waking up on the same street
to find his wife an old woman
his children cosmonauts
his house
a floating bubble

Stumptown
Deliberate Portland
pea-coated, Irish sweatered
How long can you survive on the sale of hand shredded leather earrings
and self-published graphic novels?
What about your student loans
and restored hardwood floors?
Is the entire city population on allowance
from their parents
who worked from graduation onward
as dentists, geneticists, plastics engineers,
40 hours a week for 40 years
avoiding the draft
missing family dinners and school plays
so their children could sip tea
from a custom handmade mug
stare out the window at gray skies
and write copy for the local brewery's new
beer tasting menu?
