1972 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


"and the PARTY begins"

Sit in the corner
Avoiding eyes
Then you see her
She is sitting alone in the corner too.
Records playing
Strobes burning
Everybody'sdrinkingandhaving"fun"
She and you could be together

"Hello," you know you're drunk
But boy you say to yourself
		Isn't she cute
"Hi" she returns and you know what that
means so you throw her a kiss
and she returns that'
and the PARTY begins for you

Lying there in her lap
and everybodyelse in theplace
is lying there in her lap
And you tell her you love her
And everybodyandhisbrother tells her
They love her too

And she says "I love everybody."
The door closes and some guy says
"Goodbye"
You get in your V-dub and drive away
And you didn't even get her address.
