Beverly Hills Lunch
Jacaranda petals on black pitch
Jags and Beemers flare sun
from thick clear coat
valets namelessly jog from car to car
hold your door
The cloth napkin is rough
at your lip
Lemon water and olive
oil bread load the wait
Specials consist of rock
shrimp and baby arugula
the waiter is too handsome
the menu is too heavy
Sharon Stone is too pale
paler than humanly possible
don’t look
at her table again
be cool – it is the role
you wear
temporary owner
of a studio title
