blue

after that we
            talked about
        glossy lipstick
                              like revelation

      sitting on the
                     grass
           under the trees
        lining main street

                   he described
                            the formality
     of old town issues
                   and the tightness of
                                          good-byes

not that it matters
             when the scenery
          shines brilliantly
    under the blue glow
         of hotel neon lights
