A Long Way Up




Big city socialites
Barely there dresses.
Midnight chill kept off  their 
shoulders by thick chinchilla fur. 
Champagne filled bellies.
Strutting their stuff. A wiggle 
in their midnight walk.
Frozen smile.
Eyes as dead as the animal about 
their skinny neck.

please don't get it confused
when slurs are flung behind closed doors

The pointless endless graft
Its just for acceptance that I search
Don’t leave me in the lurch...
