#prismatic
_red
neon
rain spattered
pavements teeming;
one thousand prismatic shades of meaning
graffiti-laden puddles splish, splosh, splash;
as midnight turns
to blue, and
dawn to
ash_

making a prism sweat
no easy thing
hardened are the hard substances,
with smoothie polished surfaces
glass, plastic, mineral,
not exact the weepy kind you would commit
but,
always a but,
take light,
I mean take it!
two hands, wrestle it into obedience
though it wriggles desperately for freedom,
and you bend it, force it, split it into pieces,
con~duct it
through your will sheerest
through the prism splitting it and the
prismatic light makes the surface
diffract refract but not reflect
now the prism commences
to sweat the spectrum,
and the pieces transit form and light liquefies
re~reformulates into
a prismatic word potion,
a coating of many prismatic colors,
a josephian dream interpreted
and You say,
mmmmm
there just might be a
poet or a single poem
inside there
lurking
somewhere
inside me
sweating words
