Let’s get it on

 
Quick, cosmic-cool,
I hurled every idea into
your brain fireworked
into the trippy tipsy dawn
and lit up the rackety
clapboard love city houses,
Jinn and toxic swinging
at your side between healthy
swigs.

You rolled and rocked
all the way to one night
paradise front seat hum,
hallucinating Marvin Gaye
beside you,
Pedal down to the canal ,
petals down, sharing chills
and flower stories, but chaste,
you only touched beams of light
on each other’s faces.
He grabbed you
out of his glum trance
with jokes and flippy takes
on silly poems you loved.

Ah, Gemini, you tripped
up and down the land
and left a trail of puzzled eyes
inside the dreamy night.

One time, you set midnight
on fire and couldn’t run
it was so beautiful,
just sat in your painted Porsche,
grinned and ginned
until your shades fell
behind the sun,
and you could
pick them up
again.
