Mark of Zorro in the Berkshires

By: Charles Giuliano - Mar 21, 2015

Amigos

Marooned in the Berkshires
Outcasts
From other lives in
Major cities
Bigger ponds with larger fish
Sharks
Here now scaled down to
Swimming with minnows
Nipping at our heels
Not sucking up to
Perceived royalty
Circles of insiders
By birth and privilege
Hard earned credentials
Not recognized
Musical chairs
Few seats at the table
Memories of
Coffee Corner
Studio visits from Clem
Wearing fine cut British suits
At CBS
Chats about tailoring
Belt or suspenders
Elevator rides with Dan Rather
Globe trotting
Michelin restaurants
On the expense account
Not taking it sitting down
Wit and wisdom
Kicking back
Tit for tat
Take that
Scaramouch
Mark of Zorro
Carved into foreheads
Courtiers and pretenders
Who was that masked man
