THE REUNION

Everyone was waiting for some one to do it,
and I was getting damn tired of waiting,
let me tell ya.
I didn't want to get stuck holding the bag again,
being in charge of everything,
calling everyone frantically
at the last minute
because no one showed up.

I pressed my lips together really hard,
and thought of a book
that I was reading on Quantum Physics,
so I wouldn't volunteer.
(I don't even understand what in the hell
that is anyway, but
it sounds good to say I'm reading it).

I was hoping that loudmouth Jimmy
would get stuck being in charge
of the reunion, he brags
and it would serve him right.
Bad enough that I'm a plus size
when I used to wear miniskirts,
without having to smile
all night
and make sure everyone
doesn't get too drunk.

Don't look at me!
I refuse to volunteer.
I hate reunions.
The snobby girls still look good
and my husband flirts with them,
they were always
such bitches
and I would have to smile
at them, too.

You think I did such a good job
last year?....
Well.....
they have a special corsage
and a placque for me?
Really?
Well, if I do it again,
can I have an assistant?
(uh oh).........
