Not An Inside Joke Exactly

                                                            for Mandy

This morning the air was cool, humid.

As the sun rose,
a cloud drifted to obscure it
creating a celestial moment.

I had the windows down and an elbow out.

Bowie's Life On Mars? came on.
I turned up the radio
and thought of you.

This lifted a smile
on one side of my face,
as if it's an inside joke
you like that song.

Because I know these things,
you can be with me while you're elsewhere
and I can wear my smirk as if
I have gotten away with something.
