	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.
