bright banter flood the atmosphere
faces were blaring and clear
despite the email letter
it was as though i am not to be here
i brought tropical punch

but not in response to my question
i placed the punch aside and sat
at the quiet corner in cession
fireworks dance amongst crowd
my attempts to get closer fails
i want the light to hit my skin
to be as bright as other's tales
half-filled soda cups kicked aside
as feet shuffle and dance
i chugged the full drink
escaping my sullen trance
sparking my own lighter
i waved the flame above my head
savouring the taste of tropical
in no one's but my stead
