Like a lightning flash
it caught me blindsided
-
I never saw its attire
reaching for my hand
whatever it was
-
But when it was done
I sure did admire
the lessons I\'d missed
through every tear and smile
rightly lost and falsely won
on the light strips
of a perpetual skid
whence we wined
tangoed the night, spun
veered off the bridge
flipped, and crashed
