I was young, I went
to experience grand beauty
on hands of success, and now
I walk on clouds
of electric light
glitter and admiration
celebrating my retirement
in the heaven of parties
star among the stars
the smiling beautiful people
their pearls, botultox and gel
in semi-gray hair, tireless
in time to the brass
Nobody needs to go to the toilet
we are hovering over the beds
in which despair tosses and turns
because of the days and the years
of dreamed lives, and we dance
the conga since we are going
nowhere
