neon restaurant

by Karyn Huntting Peters

sitting in neon restaurant
crowded signs lining the streets
just this side of walled windows

shoes come and go
with people attached
voices foreign and muffled
between carpet and heel

faint trickle of muzak
pinging worn stainless steel

windows echo reflections
of haloed headlights of night

trancelike cars meander
through the aisles and people

white noise cancels out falseness
of lamp and its cloth shade above

and through frosted glass
laughs the trickster of light
who never forgets
the multitude of neon restaurants
within each of his photons
