Perhaps the strangest thing about pleasure
is how quickly we try to hide the evidence.
The empty glass.
The unfinished night.
The softened voice.
The smile we can't explain.
We clean ourselves up,
compose our faces,
return to being reasonable.
As though enjoyment leaves behind a confession.
But what if the evidence isn't something to erase?
What if the trace of having enjoyed yourself is the only proof that you were there?
