Million Dollar Store

I wore a dollar-store plastic mask,
Covered in metallic felt pen that
I'd scribbled on the surface before arriving at the dance,
My sidekick's face beside me half covered in shiny green and blue.
We went together - shoulder to shoulder
Up the steps
One, two, doorway
And into the hall
Where brilliantly colored feathers and crinoline
Burst with "WE ARE FUN!!!"
And took over my eyes.
He beside me scanned left to right
And lead me around the corner to the far wall
Deposited our bags
On the bench of damned waiting
And stepped out into the dance floor.
I became a cupcake with twirls 
In and out of horse heads and pirates,
Beautiful women wearing beautiful bird bottoms and
Smiles pointing upwards
At mischievous eyes flashing through
Rainbow disguises.
Shoulders,
To chest,
Out to the hand and spring back
Rock step inside turn Charleston
Flew me around
Swinging while I was anyone,
Because everyone else was everyone,
And we were all just Joy in masks and dresses.
