c’mon, let’s go for a drive.
it’s still light.
the air is warm and and the fresh breeze sweet.
c’mon. can’t you feel it?
the sky is a warm blue loop.
it’s a fine evening for a cruise.
can you smell the sea?
it’s blue too and tinges the sky with green.
the world is effervescent like the surf at night.
and here it comes, the warm, friendly night.
the lengthening shadows creep up from their slumbers,
hiding away the day under rocks and bridges
to come take their turn, cavorting.
do you see the clouds?
slate gray against phosphor blue-white, I don’t know what.
aha! streetlight, headlight — first star I see tonight.
dive into the heart of it, this is where we were meant to be!
