Richy

Incessant parade suitably dressed
All tailor! Every cut to impress
Dazzle, razzle, onlooker bemuse
But hollow, quickly covered emptiness

the strut metered by chorus
Coherent corrugating cat calls
From orchestrated agency crowd
None there unless dollar falls

They merry-go-round
Strut, mirror, aloof vanity pose
Gloss, dentine and just trite
Replaced with the punch of scandal
And all that's left is
A faint shadow on the wall
