Party

Eric Baizer

yr invited to a party
where chandeliers are punchbowls
& umbrella cut the cake
in the hands of ingenious grampies
windup toys on a warehouse roof
beat out mantras for saxophone tuned in yelp
celebrating trumpet breaks
wild in the summer of 28
forgotten in these days of schlock
all the muzak makers are executed at dawn
their screams make beautiful music
