Van Gogh Once Knew

Good about me is what's good about a sun-yellow
Mercedes swinging down a sun-yellow road. Only
who you are doesn't matter anymore, it seems. I changed

around the time the clocks changed and when your
autumn sweater left the hanger bare. Please, more
hits of sunshine (for Allen Ginsberg), and please, another for me.

Pink moon shadows
paint the silence on misty October nights.

A song for the lovers beats hard against my lonely bar stool, only
I get my beat from the sun-yellow dream pounding in my head.
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say it against the
green arrow flashing me where to go, and please
don't touch me if I decide to never move again.

I've seen those colors. Often.
