Party


nobody is who they are all fine and nothing new crowded room of smoke and opinions drunken motives everything is wet and false and in the way in a way, the part it eh only place where you can be truly alone the talk and the music drowning each other out inside fuzzy ears social roller coaster more nauseating then the fluorescent bathroom sex lurke in every nose like something under the bed. nothing happens and is forgotten. as the last ashes drive drunk home, I pour myself something to keep the ghosts from scratching at my soul.
