Not Technicolor


Just the moon

or a touch of hot white neon

maybe light from the hall

or the open curtain

of the bungalow across the way

The tarnished fan slurs dusty sentiments

like good gin and bad whiskey

Too late for bed

the dame crosses her legs


Scars and bandaged pasts

shrink in the light

figments of yesterday’s sobriety

Hey you, reformed one, hop in

I’m taking you for a ride
