STUDIO 54 by Susan Isla Tepper

Behind the velvet ropes

we waited impatiently

freezing—

But that’s okay

‘cause once they finally

let us in (and we

were dressed for it, baby)

well half-dressed—

everyone else will already

be blotto

sex will perfume the air

and we will jump

into the mad fracas

forgetting about tomorrow altogether.
