Neon Pizza Sign

There it was, the neon pizza sign
silhouetted against evergreens
in the afterglow of a spring sunset.
This is about seeing something
out your windshield, pulling out
of a strip mall onto a suburban avenue.
It's about contrast and composition,
the hot spark of commerce
standing apart in your field, your horizon.
It's about looking up. About those
thin slices of your day that flicker on.
And what does it say? Look.
Quicken. You are here. Now.
