Laser-light Green

A poem

Light - shone through emerald dishwashing liquid
Sparks like an absinthe fairy hallucination
Lose time in a green glitter delirium
See green bottles
become pears
become apples
become rain droplets
On the car windscreen
Reflecting minty traffic lights, prompting the driver to ‘go go go’
Squint until a lime starburst stretches across your vision
Blink yourself sober
Refresh and revive
Like puddle slime in the spring time
Nature is weird
Eerie sci-fi alien aurora borealis
Back home to bed, where plastic glow-in-the-dark stars adorn the ceiling
Backlit dust on a radar-style clock screen
Through the window, fireworks glint off muskmelon midori in a cut-crystal glass
Flickers of engraved neon slashes flash across the walls, calling in a new year
The future: a projection of matrix-style ones and zeros
Across your face and down your bedsheets
Green! 💚
Also trees.
