Me Too Multitudes ... Available on YouTube ... For Guess Who

AT THE
ME TOO 
BALL

Irony received
an invitation
to
a fund-raising Ball.

Vanity was her escort.

Irony wore

a Gucci gown
and

high heel sneakers
to 

The Me Too Ball
at the Memorial Hall,

With men and women

of note,
in glitter and glam,
plus media
to gather quote

From crumbs
of conversation
or spoken from
the podium.

Vanity sat to the
right of irony.

Ego sat to her left.

She could not tell
them apart.

Laughter sat
across from

Irony.

(The Me Too Ball
coincided with Hollywood's
Me Too Rally.)

Secrecy  and Humility

were conspicuously
absent from the Ball

Where
Ten thousand  people
sang

in perfect harmony:

I gotta be Me
I gotta be Me
No other person
can I be.

Ten thousand

voices all echoing
–verbatim and robotic–

All repeating
the plea
to be different.

Irony in

her high heel sneakers
danced with

Laughter in

his most

voluminous
voice.

They were thrown

out of the hall,

Exiled from the Ball
 but

Vanity and ego

crawled
under the table.

Ego was lassoed

into submission,

unlike

Vanity,

who wore

too many

disguises.

Otherwise

 a splendid time

was had by all

at the

Me Too
 Ball

(Or so they thought)
.
