Grad Parties #1 & 27

"When did our world get so old?"
I thought while some friend from childhood,
though not mine, breathed down my nape.
Smacking loudly on mashed potatoes,
Smacking loudly while I planned my escape.

I patiently gazed from my docile corner,
overlooking a courtyard of younger you's:
a mysteriously prolific conejo.
Funny how straight your teeth seem now,
Funny how it is you I came to Know.

Warm lactose breath irrigating my flesh, now,
my god how I hate people who think they Know
you mind if I lay here once more?
I'll assume you left this light on purposefully,
I'll assume this was all you had hoped for.

And now time for my own graduation:
From my comatose, love-worn isolation.
