Red Car

It was a blue car,

But in my mind it was red,

And in the light your face

Was blue then white then red.

Somewhere to the side

A giant boy, his stomach,

Shining white and red,

Grinned in the neon light,

And even then I thought

How very ludicrous,

How simply funny

That your face flashed

White then blue then red

And the car flashed blue then red

Beneath the smile

Of a red and white boy

And the blue and white faces

Moving in the neon night

And the changing flashes

Of the pulsing light

That was blue then white

Then red.
