cashier notion


Late night crowds going down the crosswalk
of early morning lights wishing each other congratulatory incantations

As the heat of day's humidity
tends to wire and tire into a long circuit of short remiss.

Fans glow on the big circular sky above as
the elliptical plane of the planets listen in closely to the late night
radio show that speaks from large cities to small radio transistors.

Lights go off into shadows and dins of spectacular colors
as time comes forward like an intruder that will offer a kind tiding
of good advice.

This,
as 12:58AM comes gratuitously like a tip offered

without a notion
of paying the ticket at the cashier's booth.
