Opulent

Curtain call again,
ageless women dance in the room,
hoping to grasp their hopes,
and waltz away with their impending gloom.

Young men watch from afar,
letting the distance wrack their minds,
and outrageousness is their friend
while they watch
the limo drive away.

and everybody's like,

heartache, music
guitars and renuzit,
apples and swords
with diamonds galore,
they don't care
his wife's having an affair

with the mayor...

Mindless playback,
spirits on the table
iPhone on the desk
key blade on the rest
they don't care
it's a murderous affair

Opulent are they?
dancing the white grey
curious as they may,
but the envy won't go away.
