I
explained the evening this way
Booming
excitement rattled my frame
As
thunderous streams of exploding powder
Transformed
into sensuous radiating sparkles
Fiery
snowflakes left burning retinal patterns
Time after
time after time
As this
soul and that languished in a private stadium
Temporarily
erected for one night only
All
patrons filled to the brim on roasted chicken
Sweet
smoky pork chops
Savory
potato salad
Pop after
pop retrieved from an enormous ice bath
The
refreshing dew from outside the can
Transferred
from palm to back of neck cooling
Then quaff
the sweet nectar of holiday dew
I felt the
night thus
A breath
of life to make it through life
Glad for
more company to delay loneliness
Another
breath just in case the supply dwindles
It will be
many weeks before another chance
Many hours
of a real job
In a
responsible profession
A duty to
the bottom line
Desk
jockey extraordinaire
Before
another evening
Of boom
glut zing blam pow zoom slurp sigh . . .
Twixt moon
and stars
Sonic
blooms arrive
A primal
release
Sip deeply
brother
The rain
of ash
Sulfur
saturated haze
Baptizes
this night
Your
rebirth assured
The
flaming Phoenix
Blasts out
wildly
From
cardboard cylinders
Made in
China
