You want to recognize
change as London moves
in a demographic shift
in wheel of fortunes
to discover who you are
Tom Gunn,
by the film glitter
on your body language
of cowboy and magic show
through a denuded hour
on Hollywood and Vine
you also move
to a new world and age
in California's dreaming
of potted gold
searching for angels
in lighted eye shadow
for show me the money
business of the trade
taking off your belt
for a silver blade
three mustaches
at one time
sandwiched between
a thigh and chicken leg
as hustlers rough leather
jacket and scarf skin
touch the sunset strip
in two faced round ups
make you a one night stand
to enlighten your sense
of your prepared death.
