Party Night

Celebration on Saturn’s third ring –

Were it made of cooled chartreuse

Silk

Party bus departs Earth at 7 pm., if buses were

Rockets

Cupid, honored guest, were his quiver full, arrows,

Poised

Alas, Love trapped on Mars, a prisoner of

War

Arrows,

Confiscated

But Love will be freed, as always he outsmarts

Hate –

Time is the

Key

Instead,

Party on Third Avenue West,

Made of ordinary

Pavement –

Fifth ranch on the

Left

Cocktails, flowing.

Car keys, locked away.

Love, definitely present, in all its

Forms.

Friendship, familial, romantic.

Anything but ordinary.

Red velvet mischief,

Ivory silk and champagne

Blue linen and gin

Silver satin and sidecars,

Pink organza and Bees Knees

Go ahead,

Fall

Let yourselves go.

Into red roses, yellow tulips, garden full of

Moonflower –

To Lena Horne and Stormy Weather

Go ahead, fall.
