Vivid City

Twilight's been reversed
The sun just took a sip of
mellow yellow
The pianist has returned to ragtime

It's a city
seen in vivid color
Waiting for you and me

Flowers glisten with possibility
A baby blue 1964 chevy
hatched from the robins egg
glides across the opalescent charcoal
The world has been washed clean.

It's a city
seen in vivid color
Waiting for you and me

Shadows are understood, not seen
College kids tossing footballs
are firebreathing dragons
that nearly singe two short girls
esconced in ivy
Damsels in distres?
I think not.

It's a city
seen in vivid color
Waiting for you and me

The sky has sprinkled the world with
liquid lightning
Life has inked a broken heart on my bus transfer
This dream is ours till 8:58 PM

It's a city
seen in vivd color
bring your camera
we'll shoot in black and white
