Disco Ball Blues

by Molly Fisher

 

Daphne disco glam dusting

BOY. Pretty boy.

A smile that tickles like a feather boa. Dancing queen,

young and sweet, he’s only 23.

Drunk girl glitter swirl daydream don’t

stop believin! glow-in-the-dark heart thumpthump

thumping to synth-pumping, sexy-70s-hip-swaying

hits

like something booming, blooming,

doomed. This is the remix.

Pretty boy. Cosmic copper cool-guy eyes.

Mad-dash, beer-splashed mouth dances

against a bomb-shell, gogo-belle blondie hottie.

Gyration flirtation stung by the sensation of

Saturday night fever fizzing my

glitter red blood.

He is a dreamer, let us

leave him.
