The Contessa Will See You Now

Sugar and plastic
Funny cigarettes
Empirical yes
But not evidence

Moving and halting
We gotta stop
Meeting this
Vivid repose

Actual and fictional
Funky vibraphone
Never the same
Twice in a roll

Shield and claw
Trivet baguettes
Royal bellies
So imperious

Alley and market
Waiting desperados
Diamond soft
Complicated lead

The Contessa will see you now
