Cocktail Party

0

I talked to an artist considered iconic

Chatted with a friend who is always ironic

Laughed a lot with a swarthy beauty

Engaged in gossip, as if by duty

Sipped a tall vodka laced with tonic

Talked politics and the demonic

Sauntered across the dewy grass

Tripped and landed on my ass.
