party girl dance

party girl dance
across the pacific
eyes and lips so fresh and heavy
only one way to make a living
running backwards
through the boneyard.

sitting with me
going nowhere
momentary heat connection
somewhat real and
somewhat fake
intersecting intersections
flashing lights in
frozen lake.

party girl
needs a husband
party boy
needs to last
both of us are underwater
both of us are
fading fast.
