all the pretty people

the pretty people are out
tonight.
tanned
and wealthy in their
white suits
and cars.
not long removed
from golf and tennis courts.
the ageless women 
in short dresses
to reveal the legs
they've worked so hard
to keep slender.
men with phones in hand,
not far from
the next deal.
a tray of four olive 
gin martinis
coming towards them.
are the rich different
from me and you?
from here
on this patio, drinking
our beer,
it seems so.
