the retirement party

i throw
myself a retirement party.
which
pleases my dog.
he loves balloons and cake.
i pop open
a bottle of champagne,
and cook
a large t-bone steak.
i put some music on.
i dance across
the room,
throwing my arms
into the air.
while the dog chasses
a red balloon.
we'll open the cards
and gifts i gave myself
later, before
it gets too late.
