Summer Horrors

Ending your year in style!
That is, what the prom is all about,
naturally,
that Summer’s night get together
where the weight of success
lifts for just an evening,
dancing, merriment, drinking (non
alcoholic, but somehow there is
always a guy who knows a guy
bringing in a secret supply
) and
pure strain laughter. You made it!
You all made it, regardless of the
exams, and tonight we party!
No weedy holding back,
here, you are getting on
that dance floor Mr!
Strut your stuff
with the best of them!
Hopefully the craft of dance
(to which I have zero experience)
will appear fully formed in my
brain, allowing me super powers!
Oh. Oh no, I am gyrating like
a revolving meat cone, slice me
up and serve me because I am done,
this was a mistake, oh I feel
a core memory forming, why
did I attempt to fit in again?
Go and sit down, with a cola,
and while away the evening in
the corner of the room, where you
are out of the way and can begin
to reform your small pool
of confidence.
