Why are you so afraid to get drunk enough
to want to be drunker enough to break
into the auditorium forget the alarm
drink beer after beer from the tap
dress up as spiderman and wonderwoman
run from the police when they arrive
hide under the bridge in the tent city
with the homeless and drugfull and cold
vomit on their clean black shoes
as they push you into the paddy wagon
and spend the night in jail
with an angry puerto rican and a violent laotian named Sam?

Are you that worried what people will think of you?
If that’s all it is, don’t worry,
I’ll wear the wonderwoman costume.
