    99 Cents Pizza

     99 Cents Pizza
    by George C. Palaganas a.k.a. Cool Dela Peña
    A hop on the corner, embarking on enthusiasm
    and find a pizza the size of a large china
    a looney for the pizza man, another for a soda
    all praise and promptnessfor an exact change to finish.
    A stare on the wall, a glance on the coins
    in a romantically lit shop, the eagerness replies
    a fork on one hand, a table knife on another
    commune with the wall graffitis and murmurs from the next table.
    Approach came as a frenchman in this self-serve watering hole
    the wave of a slip in exchange of a bill
    discreet and with reverence, a lone some refill
    empathy demands the highest on the seams.
    Recovery is late on the cheezes and pepperoni
    for it vanished at the speed decreed for transfer tickets
    a penny on the change made me realize
    I had a 99 cents pizza that's easy on my pocket.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
