Liberty Bell

The sheet was white
We choose the liberty bell
The reddest of the red wines on the list
It was half off pie and glass night
Wednesday,
7
We're partaking in our fanciest attire
My dark featured friends and I
I'm done up in my do good five dollar threads
My date in his candy striped thrift store knock off
I kept my balance in dress and heel
Glasses enough to make me kneel
Liberty bell struck quite a bell
But I was somewhere else
Perhaps still stored in a discount wrack
Not yet filled,
Not yet pretty enough,
Being served two hours late
with cold hands, cold feet, and a disinterest
for the pizza of the night
Our sheet was white
but my mind was a Picasso's dark
Half off, half full,
Through with you
