glittery gals in glamorous gowns
inverted flowers spinning
on slender stems
twirled by debonair dandies
the air perfumed with privilege
and desperation as they cling
to convention & cliche & each other
in conversation witty and urbane
yet dripping with disdain
titanic deck chairs rearranged
by bright young things
on a roiling sea of modernity
in their lavish but leaky boat
creaking with age and corruption
