BACK
YOU ARE INVITED TO THE COCKTAIL
PARTY
shane jones
The party was great.
Except for the drunk guy
with the bowling ball.
You slipped upstairs early
leaving the orange glow
of living room party goers.
When I went to the bathroom
I fake laughed in the mirror
because I wanted to see
what other people saw.
In the morning
we will have things to do.
Mow the lawn.
Plant more flowers.
Everyone in the neighborhood
will be doing the same thing
because no one wants
to have the house that has given up.
