Electric in the Sun

Michael Lee Johnson

I’m electric in the spring sun
nomad in the summer dust
my lantern burns
without fuel,
I lie in the deep grass
with microphones tossed
over my ears
and feel like I’m on a high
psychedelic
blue-green grass
pink sunglasses in my left hand,
teeth pearly white ivory tusks,
muscle tee shirt, with brown sash
from shoulder to hip,
crazy beads around my neck
yellow-orange shaped like
candy corn
life is but a blitz,
I’m electric in the sun,
and there is no cell phone
by my side.
