Mrs. Dalloway

“Mrs Dalloway is always giving parties to cover the silence”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway 

i am having a party tonight.  i am hoping that everyone has a good time. that everyone eats and drinks gluttonously, that hedonism is the king of the night.

i am hoping someone meets someone else. gets a number.  fumbles for their phone. hopes to hear back that week.

i am hoping that my band drinks while we play but still sound good. that my friend Ben plays his "pirate song", the one i love so much. 

i am hoping someone finds a connection.  sweeps the crowd and notices a flag coming out of a strangers head, as if to say - "yes, it's me."

i am hoping no couples go home mad at one another - or longing for another person to get in the car w/ them.  i am hoping the couples go home and make a sweet sweet love that can only be brought on by wine and backyard lights; that half horny/half drunken state of love-making.

i am hoping two people makeout in a room where no one else is.

i am hoping the ice does not melt and my jello shots taste as good as any jello shot can taste.
