(Not So) Far Removed

Fingerless fishnet gloves
Decorated amulets
Sitting on display above
Too precious to touch

Wealthy and wise
S’ got such particular taste
A pleasant surprise

Came from old money
But rather go for something
His family can’t buy
Depreciating assets seldom catch his eye

Cocktails for brunch
Enchanted by his figure
He doesn’t eat much?

A stroll before the sunsets
A setting for love?

Everything is perfect here
But much is left unsaid
The skeletons are buried near
The dolls have torn off heads

Adjusting to these expectations
If anything, it’s a vacation
Pretending that my mind is vacant
While steadily alert
