Although you may wave that beggars cup
Or sing that eye-narrowing lyric, I am not convinced
That some of you even know: I had forgotten
Myself. But hello to the rest of you. Some pre-drinks that was, eh!
Anyway I now have a list
Of all the others I would like to invite, only
They don’- That’s
Right!: they have no idea
We’re all even related! And they dare not ever think it.
So no—no of course not: I won’t tell them just yet.
…
…
Right then…
…
…
The party dies down pretty quick, eh! What do you do here instead?
Right. I see. “Nudges”.
Well I could produce a silent wave
—A quiet lyric—
If that would help? What do you think? Hello?
Is there anybody there?
Fuck sake—am I the only one here again?
(No.)
*
Right then—I’m off!
Wait wait wait wait wait: there is
Someone else in here? But you can’t
Just start partying again! As it’s still
A mess in here! And so
I urge you
—Not nudge you—
Urge you
To clean up as much as possible
Before you leave.
