 "Electric Tang"

Click the fish to get back to the index page!
  aimless midnight gusts
  dart across lonely paved lanes
  while streetlights hum
  with electric tang

  strolling lovers bathe and lull
  in the tart glow
  as they scuff sandaled feet
  along littered avenues

  at some point amidst
  the phosphorescent buzzing
  in the air a low chuckle
  is muffled in the darkness
