Before it’s all gone
And I’m left behind
Fat with blood
Toasting my success
-ful friends
I want to enjoy
An exhibitionist streak
Before I lose my nerve
Bloated on a crest
Of my own allure
To dole out kisses
Amongst bouncing pretties
Just outside the coatroom
Of a club I’ll never see again

that hyphen, lol
It’s doing a lot of work
