ahh, a daydream


AHH... The swank.

Low lights become bright

flashing with the
s l o w turn of that
disco-
let's have a ball, doll.

Come here-
to my mind,
my lap-
the tap of my toe...
on the count of four..

let the horns play-

stop and go-a slow stroll.

the smoke makes it hard to see-like a dream.

pond mist-
it's a jungle. Jane
with red lips
swinging those-
hips
if you watch
twist
with the rasp of the rattle..

Ringlets and wing tips..
slips and rips..
lines and rhymes..
powder and puffs-
snuff.

Mirrors,

Separation of the time,
reflection of what is sought to be seen.
Scream.
Screen.

Sequins lost..

What a lovely train ride.
Keys smile..
glisten.
ivory teeth.
Underneath-

Another gin please
dah-ling.

Make it a double.
The night's young..
and we're all getting

old anyway.
