Benevolent Truth

benevolent truth
sat next to me 
on a couch 
spotted in red and green stars

our freinds suround us
some around the pool table

a complex muddling of voices bombards the oncoming music
as it crawls up the rigid wooden stairs
and with all intents to greet the poster above our heads
of a turtle with a banjo in its lap 
and large tie-dye letters
that spell out the name of my favorite song

the same song
being blasted by the slightly intoxicated band downstairs.
