lucid
Mark Sokolowski

From the giggle
of late adolescence

five
rows
up
               and one across

I must appear
a slight bit
lucid, or a
mite ecstatic

               as I'm caught
               in lip-sync
               with a head
teetering on
                               totter shoulders.

So I take up
a two-step to the
music in my
seat,

wink-and-gun
my differently abled
neighbour and we
wipe our drool in time.
