welcome

open your arms
look around
is this the event you were waiting for?

don't be surprised by the disappointment
the welcome committee gave themselves food poisoning.
perhaps it was nerves.


it's time.
and you're here.

there is no red carpet.
those guys didn't show up either.

the valet is on strike.
the food is all cold.
the beer is all flat.

but you're here.
welcome.

isn't this what you've been waiting for?
doesn't this feel like you've amounted to something?

and no one is here , to announce you.

the champagne popped hours ago
the door mans gone home.

welcome.
