Regalia

Topics: classic

If the rich are different         they show it with the         clarity of their table         as Fitzgerald decried,         the breathless hush         of their garden regalias,         the manner in which wedgewood         crystal are cleaned to a         polished exactness -         the shimmer of expensive china         no less repetitive than         the hulking boys         waiting in window stops,         monsoon rain pelting         the upper Punjab plains.
