Charades

I’ve done my part
in keeping up this charade
when it was our turn
I kept on the party face

as the night went by 
in a dylanesque parade
I stayed true  
to our agreement

tried the conversation 
and failed 
looks suggested 
something else in the air 

now I gotta say 
it’s getting late
time to make a move
or we’ll get sucked in 

here comes our hostess
dressed in the moment 
grab your shoes 
I'll get the pie dish

in the distance lights are flashing 
is it  fireworks or explosions
gunshots or dance beats
screams or orgasms
