Synesthesia
I was driving
Bright sunny day
Cool breeze blowing
Through my hair
I caught a scent
And was immediately
Transported in memories
Back to my childhood
Recall was amazing
Instant daydream
Of all those years ago
Seeing and hearing
Just like I was there
Backyard barbecue
Friends and family
I think I was eight
It was a great day
More fun than I’ve
Had in ages with
People long gone
Woke up from
My reverie
Feeling the sun
Intense on my arm
How awesome it
Was to be able
To relive that day
In perfect clarity
All triggered by a
Smell caused from
A source so
Unexpected
Awake I notice
An errant spark
From my cigarette
Has gone astray
In the moments that
Follow I frantically
Try to beat out
My burning coat sleeve
