I’d kissed neon once before;
It scolded when it shouldn’t
And took half of what I
Owned.
I’d kissed neon again;
Come a night with, “Dylan,”
And vodka when the beer
Went dry.
And I’d kiss neon forever;
Come a’grayed hair’s gossip,
Words ‘bout our first night,
And, “we,”
We’d cackle on our backs, jubilant.
