It happens at the cocktail party
When you suddenly get fed up
With the subscripts to the banter :
What I gave my parents,
I expect to get from my kids ;
People proudly all-in on their genetic trade
As if they were entitled to anything else
But a fucking dead end.
And you get upset by the dirty joke
Just the right amount
As you pour another drink to the host
While he changes subject.
