Hot Mango Flush

Hot mango flush.

Ladies with ice cream hair -

Gyroscopic pink neon beams -

Everybody's happy about something.

The crowd moves like a flock of startings: they

Switch direction as one.

Jive on the jukebox - jack and joker

Split the night air with whoop and holler.

Faint aroma - wood smoke, old fish,

Diesel harbour, roadside mongrel,

Painted man with buttons barely

Holding, bursting belly bulging.

Doe-eyed ragamuffin mumbling -

Scolded for some vague infraction.

Stole a penny candy-coloured

Sweetheart kiss down at the market.

Down at the market all the world

Seems to simmer:

Hot mango flush.
