Working Class

Working Class

and she’s

on her knees

scrubbing marble

and he’s in the stall

cleaning out the commode

and the Royce is rolling in

and the limos are rolling out

and steam is rising

off linen, off whistling kettles, off lobster pots

and cigar smoke is drifting

like uncorked champagne

and in the silver, you can see the chandelier

and above the clamour, you can hear the grand

and it’s a good night for servers and chefs

for bodyguards and bartenders

for concierge and valet

for musicians and maids

enjoy your stay
