LOVE LUMINOUS LOVE

The clouds became luminous love documents for Valentines Day.
I had high hopes of staying a hungry neighborhood prankster
no matter how many cracks in the pavement
attempt to keep me on my side of the universe.
For Halloween, I plan on going as Homer Simpson.
A surly lady with pink hair and tattoos going north and south
attempted to take me on a strange detour around town.
I watched my step as her shiny halo was blinding me.
I never know what to do when confronted by a halo.
She unfolded her philosophy on the sidewalk.
I could tell that her force field was starting draw me in.
I called my community cats over for a quick look see.
They seemed to take to her without hesitation.
A homeless guy shouted out that he was reincarnation of Petrarch.
All I remember about Petrarch is that he is considered
to be the first Renaissance man or so my bipolar
English professor would write on the blackboard
at the beginning of a new semester.
The local library had to shut down for a fresh paint job.
I felt lost without the library there to send me on my way.
Maybe I should be kind to myself and revel
in the vision of pursuing love luminous love and nothing else.
