Poetry: Fiesta

Gallant Festivities

It was my evening,
That's for sure -
At last I'm good
At something -
27 years old
I may be, but
"I've heard all
about you"
"I have to meet
That guy"
"Spot the
Equity card"
"It's your aura, Carl"
I even signed
One of Phil's friends'
Programmes -
"When are you going
To be a superstar?"
Said Luce
A few days ago -
That seemed to be
The question
On everyone's lips.
"You got Feste perfectly,
Just how I
envisaged it"
"Not only when
You're onstage
but off too!"
At last, at last, at last
I'm good at something

And so the party
I danced first with P.,
"...Don't go away..."
Chloe called me...
I listened
To her problems
References
To my "innocent face"
Livvy said:
"S. seems Elusive
But is in fact,
Accessible;
You're the opposite -
You give to everyone
But are incapable
Of giving in particular."
M. was comparing me
To June M.
Descriptions by AN:
"She does not dare
To be herself"
Everything I'd always
Wanted to be,
I now am
"She lives
On the reflections
Of herself"
Partly of truth,
"In the eyes
Of others"
"...So long, Carl..."
"There is no June
To grasp and know"
Partly of myth.
I kept getting up to dance
