I met Miss Universe one night.  Online

The pics of her are not as beautiful

As she herself was.  She deserved a shrine.

A royal woman she was dutiful

About the opening of children’s wards

In Thailand’s hospitals and going to

Inaugurate a shopping center.  Towards

Me she inclined just once and then I knew

From her perfume how high a princess she

Was.  Wearing diamond tiara on

Her hair, she brought the serendipity

We all deserve like Buddha’s sacred dawn.

  She treated me as if she really cared

    About me.  Grace left me, my heart, ensnared.
