Early Morning, Screen Porch

He lights on my car antenna.
There are many in the parking lot
but he chose mine.
He fastens to it, flutters off 
on jeweled wings, then
returns again.  Maybe 
he's checking the airways
for weather alert. The reason: 
hurricane season.  Maybe 
he's looking for a girlfriend
in a hood-top speed-dating 
search.  Maybe he's just 
a dragonfly who likes 
a singular perch.
