The Seven Deadly Colors: Gold
from the series “The Seven Deadly Colors”;
a series of seven poems originally published in The Lamp-Post.


Bob Johnston

It is a comfort to know that I
will never be completely destitute
because Uncle Heinrich left me
some valuable souvenirs
from Auschwitz including
some that he personally
extracted from the Jews
now in my safe deposit box
as insurance against a rainy day
not that I expect to go bankrupt
in the immediate future
but you never know
what might happen
in these uncertain times
even though I have prospered
and bought up most of the property
in this city and hold mortgages
on the rest and the only thorn
in my side is that bastard
Cliffordson my next door neighbor
whose house is bigger than mine
and he laughs in my face
when I offer him twice
what the house is worth
but I will get him yet
squeeze him out of his business
tie up all his assets
ruin his reputation
then he will have to sell
at my price.
