Enjoy and love the party, I tell myself in mind.
This company’s temporary, I’ll leave it all behind.
Might not be tomorrow, it will be very soon.
I’m a book they borrowed and I’ve shed my cocoon.
Don’t misconstrue my rambling, I’m grateful like before.
But I can see the ending, can’t wait to leave the shore.
“The Party” is one of the poems in the anthology The Lion Eating the Sun. It was originally published on May 2018.
