The evening passed us by on a lively spree

DUMBSTRUCK

overcome with excitement, being stuck

Half asleep I make no sound
Coffee machine gives a groan

By things I see sometimes today
I’m dumbfounded and blown away.
I’ve seen folks driving far
all alone in a car.

Gossamer winged gondolier airships
sail on feathered wax-clad wingtips 
travelling blue transparent skies
probing boundaries transfixed on a prize 

dashing darting greeting parting
flirting flurried partners charting 
amplify dumbstruck daydreams with flair
animation takes wing to air

tails fly and...

I couldn't see her face...so I beeped at her behind 
When she turned around...I nearly hit a caravan
