MEMOIRS OF DAMNISO LOPEZ, NO. 16

Green stem glasses for the white wine,
Plain, clear stems
For the red wine when meat is served.

We, the revolutionaries, peeped at the banquet of the rich.
Ramon, awed, exclaimed,
"Look they have silver oranges and silver orioles
to decorated their fork handles.!

On the walls were French Paintings.
Since as a bum I spent so much time in art museums
To keep out of inclement weather,
I identified the Dufy, Matisse, and Bonnard.

Luis said, "Listen to their conversation.
They are talking about having a masked ball
To raise money for child care,
So the mothers can work all day."
