Keeps the first chair and the gold chain.
New York · The family sits first
The fluffle
The creators, the coats, and the family. Same skyline. Same table. Ears up.
Founder
Keeps the first chair and the gold chain.
The books
Counts the night before anyone else sits.
The cross
White shirt. Soft smirk. Gold at the neck.
The smile
The room gets louder when he leans in.
The orange
Beanie down. Beard long. Still the borough.
The blue ear
Leather on, red under, eyes level.
The satin
The blazer stays sharp. The name stays gold.
The floral
Navy and honey, like a Sunday that went late.
The chain
Nobody talks over the red curls.
The cap
Hand on the brim. The table already knows.
The room
The laugh that starts the night.
The laugh
First one to pull a chair out.
The braids
Gold chain. The steadier half of the table.
The suit
Navy, pearls, watch, hands folded.
The mark
Glasses on. She draws what the circle wears.
