Oconomowoc
O where does the emphasis go
on the scrapped storefront doors
or the million dollar homes
O why the random roundabout
circling to lakefront gelato
or the fishermen casting for trout
O how the yawning 50's ranches
miss farm boy Harry S Truman
and tire of weathering glances
O when did the city split
an overpass to big businesses
and downtown a new abyss
O come on and walk with me
again across the red bridges
to hear the currents talk
