HIGH TEA
Sits the city centre known as
Poor's House of Cactus the beacon
both the ladies & the queens said so
they met among the saguaros out
back in their purple robes against
the light from the amber & dead
hills beyond Manteca beyond
their season they declared we
are the purveyours of grande culture
we are the narwhals of grande culture
we are the turquoise on the Stetson
hatband of grande culture who
by our headlong battle to save
the sculptures from the Comstock
the flood shining with spun discs
of Pyrite but also the rarest & most
genuine in the California lode
no we would not hold out our hands
