Paper Airplane In a Gumdrop Sky
I was paused at a blood-red light,
across from a clapboard church
with the sign,
"English services available".
Off to the side I saw a chubby kid
clumsily attempting a cartwheel...
He popped up like a green gumdrop.
The moment was electrified
As a smile came upon his big,
beautiful cinnamon face.
This mount blue sky moment
belonged to him and him only~
The car behind me trumpeted.
The light turned spring-ish green.
I headed down the avenue.
And into a wash of golden beams.
