Confidence Scheme
Let's workshop this poem about a charismatic individual who capitalizes on the excitement desires of middle-aged vacationers bored in the safety of their affluence
Confidence Scheme
He chatted up the bars
of coastal resorts for his rent,
slipping in brandy boasts to bait
sockless Sperry-men
in rudderless routine of inebriation
watered-down, new money
swollen in polos salmon or teal,
into betting he could never
swim across the night bay.
