first words feel lonely
on a page all by themselves
if a poet is seriously sympathetic
he’ll send out invitations
to every expression he knows
and invite them to a party
that’s starting right now
a spontaneous rave
that begins with a
meet and greet
then maybe some line dancing
or a more formal ballroom-like thing
with changing partners
perhaps musical chairs hide and seek
or even pin the tail on the lyric
where the fun goes from there
late into morning evening
or whatever time
is nobody’s business
but when it’s finally over
those that are left
will stagger out happy
tell you all about it
