Both Things

Annabelle

I’m not really invited

to the party

But I came to look

for Christopher.

I want to tell him

we can do both things,

Workshops and Planetarium:

my thing and his, together.

I was also hoping

to find Mary

But this house is

crazy crowded

And I can’t find

anyone I know

Except Stacey

who is outside

Cracking up

Like a hyena.

I watch her

stumble away

A six-pack

under her arm

And I wonder

if she’s okay.
