Blur by Stephen Schwei

Ethereal effervescence,

material male presence.

Testosterone bouncing off the walls.

Sing your ephemeral auto-tune

out of tune

saga of sagacious rhyme.

Eager evanescence,

guys stream in,

segue out.

The dance floor minions

command the dominion.

Raise your hands,

lower inhibitions.

Strike a pose for the night.

It’s all a blur.

Stephen Schwei is a Pushcart-nominated Houston poet with Wisconsin roots, published in Wax Poetry & Art, Beneath the Rainbow, Hidden Constellation, Borfski Press, and the New Reader Magazine. He has published one volume of poetry, Bluebonnet Whispers. A gay man with three grown children and four wonderful grandchildren, who worked in Information Technology most of his life, he can be a mass of contradictions. Poetry helps to sort all of this out.  www.stephenschwei.com
