WATT CLUB PINK
SEES NOT THE DAY
IT IS HUMAN FLESH
IN A STRANGE SORT OF WAY
YOU DON'T REALLY NOTICE
I
AFTER SOUND CHECK AND FOCUS
AS YOU SIT ON THE EDGE
OF THE FRONT WINDOW LEDGE
AND ROLL CIGARETTS
AS THE SUMMER SUN SETS
ON THE TOP OF THE STREET
YOUR EYES HAPPEN TO MEET
THE BASS PLAYER'S GAZE
BATHED IN LAST RAYS
*
OF ANOTHER DAY GONE
AND ANOTHER NEW SONG
AND THIS JUXTAPOSITION
OF TIME CAUGHT BY VISION
HOLDS YOUR THOUGHT-AS THE NIGHT
ADVANCES AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT.
