Poetry

An Introvert’s Night Out

Making it happen.

I have to go to an event this evening.

I don’t want to.

Oh, I know it will be fine once I get there,

but first …

I must take the necessary steps to look the part.

Oh crap! I’ll have to put on makeup.

Whatever. Just a touch.

Girl, what have you been doing all day?

Didn’t you look in the mirror? Once? Yikes!

Whoa! The hair.

That’ll take a hot minute.

Set and spray.

Clean my glasses.

How in the world did you see out of those?

Get out of my jams.

Get into something irritatingly less comfy.

Shoes … shoes … where did I put those damned shoes?!?

Great. The coat is too short for the sweater.

I hate life. It’s too hard.

Never mind, I’ll wear the other one.

Out to the car,

Downtown,

Where the hell is a parking place?!?

Oh! Hold on! There’s one!

That bastard! F*@# you, Buddy!

Yeah, you!!

Here’s one. Finally!

Three blocks away, but hey!

Walking in, I spot a few friends.

Grabbing a glass of Merlot,

I make my way through the crowd,

and am absorbed into the group,

We begin to laugh.
