Horses In Beverly Hills

Concrete bedroom w/ lights & sound.
People gather across wet streets --
The click of a women’s heel --
Many clicks like horses trotting.
Herds of clunking mares fighting
for the prize.

Recognition in being the first horse
across the finish line
The first blue suit from Calvin Klein.

Our country is at war.
Kids are dying!

I know those things but do you know
when the Rolex store closes?
