Thanksgiving

there are the normal
pleasantries--
you look taller
how do you like college,
the normal responses--
mumble, good, mumble, smile,
I'm awkward but please don't notice
mumble, mumble, mumble

the whole time
I have to hold back my natural instinct
to leap for the red wine
chug it down

hey, look everyone,
I'm a social fucking butterfly now
come dance with me
I know jokes
and
I can sing too.
