Give me approximately
Seven seconds
To sit on
The universe.
It may take
A lifetime of walks
In green gardens.
Or perhaps ten years
Of white front
Porches.
But I will stand
Upon the red
Roof of this
Convertible.
Against the blue sky
And yellow tulips
These primary colors
Will be etched.
Etched
Not upon
May
But purely upon
The defeated
Twilight sky.
