On the lesser lawn

I saw her on the lesser lawn,
a large goddess in a green flowing
dress and two lovely dogs
each knowing their place
in the hierarchy of order
chasing a ball... and having a ball.

The helicopters flew overhead
heralding the opening
of a grand ball at the estate.

Orange clad valet
taking marching orders,
and parking expensive SUVs
on newly laid turf.
So uncool.

A ball thrown in the face of a ball.

The joy of the dog and a friend
in the regal dress of an unnamed woman,
the hierarchy of the pet. Both dogs
were having fun on the lesser lawn.

I saw, I knew, I understood
as the Blue Nile asked,
"Where is the Love?"

Joy on the lesser lawn,
is all I could whisper.
