Plastic Champagne; Fake Smiles

plastic champagne glasses fall to pieces in my grasping hands
one cup hits the floor
cracks
useless
disjointed stems point towards the wall in a feeble attepmt to tell me something
I stand them upright
upsidedown
the bases lie in circles of swirling dust
such a chore to crawl on my knees to clean up my mess
it's not like we use them anyway

I know these glasses are a metaphor for something. You figure it out.

    Well Done,

    I enjoy poetry that makes me think a bit, and I also like the way you pen this art works here. Keep on sharing here, and this is excellent.
