introvert @ unsuccessful smoozing function

dressed in black like johnny cash
i walk the line and know who i am

they don’t know me
i don’t know them

so-i

pass the wine girl
no time for a buzz

mosey the room
while city photos
melt in my mind

dance, puppet, act!!: interested, sophisticated, cultured, not scared

lonely business cards
trapped in my pocket

soon you realize
they don’t care
not about you
or what you do

they’re ridin’ high-society
beamers, porsche’s, humvee’s

while you pray your old v-dub: rusted, rugged, stalling, stalled

will make it back home
where you are safe

and they leave you alone
