flashlight tag

flashlight tag
in the dark
wandering
without a spark
running involved
if you want your skin
they know you're green
they know you're kin

               Firefly
         are you mine?
  and the comet's tail
  burns across the sky
    Firefly you better
    run from the light

flashlight tag
on Cherry St.
concrete gray
it ain 't too sweet
and the girls
never win
flowing out after
running in

               Firefly
        you will learn
          (forgive me)
   Firefly, you better
    run from the light

Tell me when will the twists uncoil by themselves?
running circles in the bushes behind Laura's house
and the girls leaning on their shoulder pads
(running circles, running circles, running circles)
Firefly, I could use your wisdom now
