I was immersed
In Ray Bradbury
and a cup of Tea
Suddenly, my bubble popped
wrenching me into
the real world
On the television
there was a commercial
for the new Ford Fusion
I find myself
again
in a new world
It's last year
in a Friend's car
approaching a red light
I say "If we just drive fast enough the red light will be Blue Shifted to green"
Amused, she inquires "How fast would we need to be going?"
"Oh, I don't know. Probably approaching the speed of light"
with a chuckle she says "What is they had a particle collider, but for cars"
not missing I beat, I shoot back "Oh they do, it's how they make the Ford Fusion" I continue laughing "You know a CARticle accelerator"
We Laugh
Back again to the present
I'm basking in the thought
of friendship
Her voice just as real
our laughter just as warm
the feelings just as real
That vivid moment
had felt just as real
if not more so
I can't help but smile
and let out a little laughter
at the significance of the Ford Fusion
