social triumph

dancing on hardwood with drinks in hand,
over cheekbones a flush has crept,
arms flung over another so you can stand;
a social decorum in which all are adept.
when nagging doubt pokes at my eyes
another booze-infused communion
gives doubt no chance to survive:
instead a confidence and charisma union.
no clique distinctions or social clarity
just shared infectious enthusiasm,
heads thrown back in amplified hilarity
the laughter arriving in shared spasms.

come here often? a quick fix, relax, release?
doesn't last, but an effective escape - however brief.
