he sang a depression tune
of men without employment or pay
as their line of heads hanging low
shuffled feet near the free kitchen door
hot soup for all who would show
the multitude haggard & poor
but Clara Bow was the one who had IT: a real jazz baby in movies & print
without talk her mouth was a dancer
and smiling delivered the hint
the 20's were F Scott Fitzgerald
and Cooper (who'd soon be a silent pictures star)
driving a chrome-adorned American car.
