Off Season

Art in Narrow Streets

By: Charles Giuliano - Apr 27, 2015

Off Season

During the weekend
Mid April
Not yet beach weather
Provincetown was hopping
Last night
Along Commercial Street
Returning from a reading
Caligula how apt
In the Library
Hardly a soul
Occasional
Bicycle passing by
Glimpse of what it was
Small houses
Packed into narrow streets
Once prosperous
When the seas were bountiful
Day fishing
Close to home
WWI
Artists, poets, gays
Returning from Paris
Founded Art Association
Just over a century ago
With Chris Busa
Writer and publisher
On the way to Nappis
Meeting artist/ activist Jay Critchley
Talk of art, Tennessee Williams
His upcoming retrospective
Getting rid of
Catholic guilt
Haven’t lost mine
Walking along
Chris pointed to
Neighboring houses
Motherwell and Mailer
Sold for millions
Real Estate spiking out
Creators
Art Colony turned to kitsch
Influx of vulgarians
Fire Island
On Old Cape Cod
Talk of artists Jim Peters and Paul Bowen
Now our neighbors in
The Berkshires
Chris ever the optimist
More coming
Every day
