Catching butterflies

steve
long and tall
the headless
horseman
gone terribly
wrong
came to the party

blender
ice cream
tequila
fresh Hawaiian
s’rooms
met in a nexus
steve’s horseman
grew a head
nostrils flaring
inhaled the cocaine
door prize

white-rimmed
screaming faster
than sound
ripping hair
to the tune of
psychedelic
nightmares
steve
soloed the
ping pong table
fingered diana’s
sister Claire
met jesus
puked in the
punch bowl and ran
screaming
into the night

20 years later
he catches
butterflies
