Uber Ostentatious




Uber Ostentatious

a smirk
of sheer folly
attire as satire
if you should
catch a blatantly
boyishly slender
blue-eyed fellow
in an impeccable
creamy bespoke
three pieced suit
pinstriped shirt
high starched collar
sheeny hankie
peeping out of
a valiant breast
pocket
two-toned shoes
& note-book open
a
shameless       
contrarian
 bona-fide
dandy
ardent to lacerate
your affectations
push the envelope
with his practiced
artful eye
if you should see
such a character
please tell him I
too have vanities
            for sale
I wish to be at the
meticulous mercy
of his flapping
exaggerations

***

Tom Wolfe died. This is for him.

In propinquity,
Nic
