Bel Air 2 Poem by DM W

Meaningless forms embellished with glitter;
Manicured and oxygenated perfection;
New faces, new fingernails, glossy brain cells;
Overrated trash, cartoon gurus and sects;
A plethora of alternative therapies;
Effulgence of shimmering, garish blues and greens.

Driveways lined by palm trees and limousines;
Nonchalantly zonked optimism: where tennis courts,
Swimming pools and sun kissed, aromatic lawns
Seem so essential in this modern, profligate world.
Here the super -rich flit like spectres,
In the monied glow of a hyper realist Hockney print.
