I Think the Party's Over

Honesty has been injured,
as evidenced by the flushes
on the face of clarity
and promises similarly stained.

But wasn't she graceful
as she glided across that platform
- a stage built for mistakes -
with her silken train
of deteriorated integrity in tow?
She never stumbled over the backlash.

Bravo.

She managed a weekend of great circumstance
without morality but with much prosperity.
She left her cumbersome conscience at home
and it suited her well.

I could never invest in such treason.
I was floundering in disgrace.
I asked her to pass the rifle.

"I'm sorry, but this corner is running out of space."

With sensational understanding,
she smiled.
