Where is the party tonight?

An uncharacteristic phone call  
and a hyperactive thong  
of young things  
 
yelling  
yelping  
yielding  
yearning

 
I got sucked inside  
this sudden vortex  
 
Saturday night  
Standing-in-the-line  
 
An hour of a stuck phase of daze  
and finally we all got inside  
It was the first time for all of us  
of course everything has a first time  
 
The-deep-purple-artificial-darkness  
with the smell of  
pheromones and weed  
and loud thumping and flailing limbs  
welcomed us all-in some way  
 
All of them went down on the floor  
and got lost in the melee  
in psychedelic oblivion  
of chaotic movement
a Grand Canyon
of wear and tear
 
I sat down at a corner  
and w a i t e d  
 
And some time later  
a hand touched me
Eons later I registered
what was being said to me
  
I-followed-suit-and-got-out  
to the stifling breeze outside
permeated with  
soot-sex-sordid life
 
Taking a stroll we tried to make sense
as catcalls and leering eyes followed
  
until we reached the vehicle  
and all of us stood stiff
 
Taking the key from a frozen hand  
I opened the door and  
helped everyone get in  
 
drunk  
stoned  
sleepy  
glum

 
Someone coughed mildly  
and asked  
if-we-did-have-a-good-time  
 
Nobody answered  
we all looked down  
 
And the car refused to start.
