Party Pooper

give me silence


ah that's good

nothing quite like nothing

to improve my mood


don't give me parties

all those things to say

like hi

how are you

how are the kids

and

what do you do?


give me infinite solitude

like after the end of the world

just me and apocalypse

and no parties

in my burned out diary


No more

"come on, just one"

when you've declined a beer

no more mega-reluctant dances

because it's impolite to say no


just me

the ruins of Glasgow in the distance

and the next barrage of comets

coming down

in time for me to say

a fond farewell to no one

but life itself

and this beautiful

once and future

Earth
