Shelter

There's a place we go.
Who we are
We don't know.
Not so far. Stone's throw.

A way to live
Empty words
Less to give
Just rewards. 

There's a time and a place.
Lights now flashing
In your face.
Sound alarm and count to ten.

Pound on the door
Let me in.
Buddy, pal
Friend or foe

Leave the room.
Just let go
Of everyone
You knew before.

When we return,
There'll be no more
Social pretense.
An even score.

You won't matter.
Nor will I.
Raining on us
From the sky.

Happy Birthday!
Here we are.
Make a wish
Upon a star.
