Alternate Reality

We flit, flutter

Human butterflies

Weekend Bar hop

Nocturnal allies

Aim to forget

Daily drudgery

Talk too much

Laugh loudly

Expensive perfumes

Dress in finery

Glitter, shimmer 

Turn backs on maturity

Gulp chilled prosecco

Blissful intoxication

Flattering candlelight

Flirt with intention

World friendlier

Dreams reignite

Anything possible

Future bright

Ignore ticking time

Count down to Monday

Exploit every advantage

Of alternate reality
