Burning Man Brings Out the Poet In Me

The wind is blowing black light colors
Streaking the playa with electricity
Only this week can the invisible effects
Blur through the air
Observable to the naked eye
Naked to those it envelops
In the distance
A smoke ring wafts 500 up and 500 across
Encircling the cloudless sky
Framing the scene beneath
A fish rides by
Chased by a winged fairy with neon eyelashes
Who in turn is chased by
A 12' atomic man dressed for the apocalypse
Praying mantises light on spiny rubber men
While purple furred temptresses
Tempt astroturf assholes
Falling into kaleidoscope dance rooms
Layers of feeling upon mounds of pillows
Movement in the rhythm
Exhaustive, expansive, explosive
Eyes swallow smiles
Laughter
Thought
Imagination runs
Out of control
Over the horizon
Through the world

I had to go back and read this again. I am intrigued by all your imagery, especially since I love science fiction. It leaves me wondering if this reality or all in someone's mind?
Astroturf assholes? I love that. Being a burning man virgin, this poem is beautiful and draws me in with detail. I'm sure it doesn't even come close to describing the whole experiance, but what a great start.
