In the corner of a club

In the corner of a club

Beautiful people
doing beautiful things.
Up turn wrists
and delicate handling,
with heads held high
and tight stern brow.

Beautiful people doing beautiful things:
smiling,
sweet conversation,
and leaning in when just right.

Light catching eye
and shadow dance on cheek;
lifting
and separating
angle acute
and cute obtuse.

Beautiful people
doing beautiful things.
Nothing more or less to say
only to observe.
