Amid the Frenzy

" Amid the Frenzy "

Amid the frenzy
of the underbelly
at the behest
of walking texters

going "thud"
all abuzz
all thumbs
painted
in matching
nail colors

as opposed
to blue-tooth
street cred
versus
hitting the deck
tongue-in-cheek
LOL

just a little niftier
and somewhat wittier
not for nothing
writ impressively
floor-to-ceiling

body-positive bravado
mixed with martial arts
and hi-tech jargon
while wearing
light and lotion-like
masks that discreetly
boost low morale

after an amped-up
mandatory night-time
schmoozes
with the ooey-gooey
gloppy party-on-ers

farming out
hangover options
by donning IV drips
laced with magnesium
calcium B vitamins plus C
as cure alls for debauchery...
