on day ??? of quarantine
once
i dreamt of solitude
of mimosas & canapés before noon
now wine & cheese & luxurious baths
are figments of the distant past
as i count the days ‘til June
an ode to the crowds
i once avoided
to the invitations
to which i made
habits of declines
oh gala
affair
soirée of antiquity
oh function
oh fete i refused
my dance card is blank
my calendar
spare
my proclaimed introversion
amused
