《Strange world》First Kiss - Part 2
Advertisement
2/ Miss
Cruel selfishness of love and youth
I scarcely think one thought about my host
his birthday, his invite's shocking kindness
or anything at all except
the chance to be with HIM, with HIM
at night, with costumes, music, dancing
a magic dream come true
In such a setting, all would at once come right
Alone together, alone in a crowd
in privacy of streaming silver moonlight
our love at last would be expressed
revealed, somehow made living flesh
Had never kissed a boy before
Had never loved a boy before
And so had never kissed one
No fears of how to do it though
It seems to be in me, somehow
Just needing to be freed
by night, by touch, or by some magic word
from HIM, who does, I know, somehow love me
Not that I think tonight will be
the night of my first kiss
But first of something, being there with HIM
at a party, a real party, dancing after dark
The night unfolds
a little differently
For from the very start
HE ignores me steadfast, turns away
Of course I don't pursue him
for that is not our way
HE spots me at the party early on
says hi, and swiftly walks on by
just as the dancing part begins
Alone I hover by the birthday punch
costumed up as pallid witch:
White skin, black lips
Black domino encircling my eyes
Green stockings, black high heels
Confused, for no one else there is my friend
my anything, except my host, who did invite me
but is surrounded now by very many siblings
A private party in the party
Agog, alive with squeals of 'you're eighteen!'
And all those gleeful expectations, inside jokes
All crowned by matching goofball party hats
All together, all one, all of course apart
from those not of their tribe

Those a new game system called Virtual Reality was created, giving everyone the possibility to fully immerse in other worlds and escaping the trials of life. Bao, threw himself in such a world but without thinking of the consequences of such a deed, for nobody asked themselves, what if life in this virtual world is better than reality and even worse what if the boundaries between the two become indistinct? © 2021 All rights reserved to the author under the pen name Q_Yuumo.
