Hot mango flush.
ladies with ice cream hair -
gyroscopic pink neon beams -
everybody's happy about something.
the crowd moves like a flock of starlings:
they switch direction as one.
jive on the jukebox - jack and joker
split the night air with whoop and holler.
Faint aroma - wood smoke, old fish,
diesel harbour, roadside mongrel,
painted man with buttons barely
holding, bursting belly bulging.
hot mango flush.
Doe-eyed ragamuffin mumbling -
scolded for some vague infraction.
stole a penny candy-coloured
sweetheart kiss down at the market.
down at the market all the world
seems to simmer:
hot mango flush.
