summer sunday night bliss

spark bug flicks round tree corner:
a cardboard billboard brown box cheerios
low cholesterol advertisement:

"plaster mirror gray faces,
giggly soda pop screams,
sweet, stick to your teeth chewy
motorcycle delight!"

then music fades into low-fat jangly whipped cream
and no cherry on top

Nice, Margaret. I especially enjoy
this line: "a cardboard billboard brown box cheeries" If I could have it stuck in my head all day I might be happy. It would be like a game of ping pong.

I miss you too Margaret. I looked yesterday for cheap flights but there were none to be found for under the price of $316. :(

I hope the drive was deerless for you.

Margaret - I added a pic to my profile so you wouldn't be freaked out by this random fan - sorry about that. I loved this piece - I keep coming back to read it again. Thanks for posting it.
