Poem 3: Reality

coolers still filled with fresh ice

the spa lukewarm after being heated

the entire day

laying in the bottom of the crystal clear water

of the fancy new pool,

were the toys bought for the celebration

the smoke of fireworks still in the air

the lingering smell of hamburgers on the grill

but the laughs are now an echo in the distance

the party is now a memory

and the people are far gone

it's time for the day to end

and for reality to come back
