All the Way Home

What could be more foolish
than arriving at the party bearing gifts
when none were wanted -
to be the only one burdened with a package
festooned with colored paper, silver ribbon?

Of course they were accepted graciously,
these unsought gifts,
then put aside unopened, unregarded,
while merriment and light hearts ruled the day.

Feeling a perfect jackass, the giver slunk
to the wall and hugged it,
hoping to evaporate into a silent coffin.
Alas - the wall was supremely indifferent
to the shame the giver radiated
like a poisoned aura.
Likewise the floor refused to open,
disdained to swallow this naive bumpkin.

Left alone to ponder what went wrong,
the giver melted away inconspicuously as possible,
back to the street,
to puzzle and wonder and hurt
all the way home.
