The Met Gala unfolds  
on the streets of New York.  
Fashion Is Art,   
the theme prescribed   
to Green Carpet walkers.  
  
Anna Wintour  
matched the runway,  
but of course  
darling.   
  
Chase Infiniti graced us,  
a modern Venus de Milo,  
draped in one and a half  
million sequins, aligned  
into a technicolor dress  
version of a confit byaldi.  
  
Beyoncé, our Queen,  
our Goddess Bey,  
our Co-Chair and  
parasocial confidante,  
she arrived airing her all:  
dazzling skeleton,  
debutante daughter,  
artful husband.  
  
A different woman,   
Madame X if you please  
\- and her husband, some guy -   
they donated ten million dollars.  
  
And let's pause and say, yes.  
That is generous.  
Even if, no bite your tongue,  
it is but a small percentage   
of their wealth.  
  
Source aside,   
may Art prosper.  
May taste persevere.   
That's all.  
  
Art captures life  
life rushes after art  
and so it goes  
*"...round and round and round* 
*in the circle game"*  
like Joni Mitchell once sang.
