The Social Whirl

A life of small smutty incidents
like a necklace of grains of dirt.

Daily, the same trees rushing by
to a green world in a time miles behind us.

A table for how many, sir?
Have you been here before? Really?

Faces phrased as carefully as words,
a language fishing with nothing but string.

We start to laugh in the middle of the joke,
but that is where it ends. No denouement. No punchline.

~JB Mulligan
