those party days

we used to have parties.
legendary
parties.
the music
the drinking, the dancing
the flirting.
the laughter.
cars on the lawn.
the place packed with
friends and strangers alike,
happy to be together.
singing.
eating. someone lift
the needle on the skipping
record.
how quickly two in the
morning arrived.
it was never a good
party unless
the cops showed up
once
or twice.
don't worry about the rug,
the table.
the bottles and cans.
the debris of food
leftover.
don't worry about a thing.
sleep over if you have
to,
the couch.
the bedrooms. the floor.
tomorrow.
tomorrow.
will come again.
the sun will rise.
