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
