The party would go almost till morning
all leap in attempting conversation
lowlights illuminate just enough
murmuring rooms
Instead of sleep
we hold wakefulness
imbibe and flatter
then sourly toss a quip
a well conceived double compliment
the boredom of this duration
inches us closer to the drama
one might possess like jewelry
The recepetion was cheery
then as the night progressed
rooms emptied
People sought beds
To pretend things had gone otherwise
to assure themselves of their place
beds turned to stretchers
throats called guttural for nurses
negligence is tangible
It takes on the form
unknown punishment
People check themselves out
ripping out ivs and making their way home
What a party indeed
