The Party Favor
Pixels of days gone by stream the screen
Data points of mode, median, and mean
Solving for X and totaling up the sum
Facts and figures that make the heart numb
While the Jester entertains the lonely crowd
Tears flow like rain from out of a cloud
Memory’s drama plays out on the stage
A silent movie from the black and white age
The masquerade allowing emotion to hide
A Venetian mask keeps identities inside
Grasping Champaign with hands that waver
Soon we’ll all leave with the party favor
