Wonderful Tonight

The finale song of the night starts,
Couples embrace each other for a slow dance,
A girl in the bathroom, mascara running down her face,
2 years over,
A boy in a blue suit sits on the bleachers, not having danced to a single song,
There’s smoke in the distance coming from the back part of the parking lot,
Teachers walking around with flash lights,
“Save room for Jesus”,
Confetti covering the floor, 

Heels in hands and sport jackets on back of chairs,

  1. I can see this scene you've painted--I love that you've included all sorts of sensory details: what we can see, smell, hear, touch.
