Party
standing
playing a part
apart at the party
out of water
fish swim together
forgot that
there are no balloons
just arty talk
the occasional sing
at blue collar america
elbows sharpened
at the bloodless buffet
diamond rings rattle on wine glasses
ice cubes click teeth
talking into wineglasses
bowties circle – cackle
elsewhere
babysitters watching
as i do
