wooden

i see them at their ease amongst the crowd
the sparkling, glamorous extroverts
and i stand aside;
longing for a book and pajamas
making friends with the wall
the floorboards less wooden than my repartee
and wonder if i would have fit better
in the drawing rooms of old

Jane Austen likely would not have it so
