a neon disaster,
all these rhinestones scattered across the street
distress signals
a cocktail waitress losing her grip
with staples in her lips
pouring bottles out
taking strangers in
rum and whatever,
pussy and whatever,
blackjack, cocaine, etc,
a skydiver in high heels, lingerie paratrooper, freefall china doll
(and the hills like
pink and purple elephants
reflect the sharp splashing
of silver dollars hitting the pavement
or so much glass
from a 9th story window
echo and
scream,
good
god
whatever!)
all these rhinestones, gemstones,
polished beads,
sparkle and glitter, fake silver, scattered- flung- tossed-
spilled- dropped- rolling and flowing, down the gutter gone
a recurring nightmare
a revolution that spins the mind
forever and whatever
bright neon
