the hard flush

the groom,
tipsy, stands beside me 
in the bathroom
relieving
himself
of champagne.
me too.
he's still in his tuxedo,
and me
in my once a year
black suit.
he looks over at me,
in the eyes
not down,
as custom calls for
and says,
i think i made
a mistake.
i shake my head and smile.
been there
done that
a few times, i tell him,
then give
the urinal a hard flush.
