chagall backdrop

I wrote it and you missed it,
how inopportune,

passed by like a symbol
on a ticker-tape,
a blip, a hiccup,
no less

and no more
as relevant
as when it was fresh
off the press,

a Beaujolais
to christen the new day,
young and tart,
so randy as you are

captured
just perfect
(I think)
in verse,

downed in big
gulps,

and in the end
a toast to satisfaction,

one grand
and audible
Ahhhhh
