With Usura (Insp. by Ezra Pound)


She stands and greets the class
With a confident smile
And fiery eye.

Speaking with passion and aplomb
Moving between topics like a bee
From flower to flower.

She cracks esoteric jokes
On fine art and fashion.
Twisting in the heels of expensive shoes

Sipping designer coffee from a lip
Stick stained cup.
Pause. Sip.

She finishes with a quote from Pound:
"...With usura the line grows thick"
Concluded. Smiled. Sat.

No one applauded.
