Sometimes the contrasts in life are so strong, between laughter and sadness, rich and poor, bright and dull, day and night …
OUTSIDE THE ROYAL
laughter exits theatre
jostles silk wool suits
smoked lips mascara
scarlet nails
a man sits
against a garbage can
voices step around
over his dog
his hand strokes
strokes quiet fur
tucks torn quilt
high heels Italian leather
velvet raw silk coats
living the opera
