It's time to call it a day.
We've waited four years
for the band to show up
so we could dance.
Now that the lights are on
and chairs are stacked,
the dancing has finally begun.
To those whose invitations
were lost in the mail
the entire term,
Welcome.
There is safe space for you here.
The locked doors stand open,
the previous tenants moved on
to landscaping
or some such pursuit.
