12,879. AT THE LOOKALIKE DISCOTHEQUE

AT THE LOOKALIKE 
DISCOTHEQUE
The lanes are wide and narrow
together  -  all things at one time,
and all in ways that I dislike.
Mirror-balls and noisy calls; 
never my style at all. I never
even went inside. Outside, where
the real action was anyway, held
me in thrall : The yellow'd man
I watched was doing a speed-ball,
lurching like a bum already. The
guy one over was slumped like a
death. Cars passed by with no care
at all  -  interiors oblivious, light to
light. A bouncer lurked, somewhere,
but always looking, too, somewhere
else. Is this how the double world
wanders its work, I wondered?
