. . . at Café Elite
just up
the street
where the collectively cool
go to
meet
the men are well-groomed
the
women are petite
they watch what they say
and how
much they eat
brie, croissant, asti spumanti?
herbal
tea, or perhaps a latté?
if you haven't read the latest books
you'll
get no cappuccino — just dirty looks
quite informed, they quote the press
and are
moved to tears watching PBS
iPad, iPhone, hybrid
car
they
kindle and tweet in the cyber bar
attitude is the crime
so when
you arrive
speak with style and rhyme
and
have the table next to mine
we guarantee you a seat
. . . at
Café Elite

ReplyDeleteYes -the first draft I did about 25 years ago, and added the third stanza (iPads and iPhones, etc) shortly before posting it here in 2012.
