why pretend

let's not
do new year's eve
your friend tells you
over the phone.
we might feel
forced to kiss,
or sleep together.
it would ruin
us, don't you agree?
it's such a hard
holiday,
one of regrets
and promises,
vows we'll
never keep.
let's not do either
for once, but
keep our heads
about us, okay?
we'll have an early
dinner, turn in
at ten,
separate checks,
and rooms.
why pretend?
