Afternoon Light

Keepers of time,
They were scattering light 
In refracted smudges 
Onto me.

I laugh to the ceiling and 
You laugh with me.
We're light and floating
Like in a glossy movie.

I trip like a fairy
(Afloat on a drug?)
She's lithe and pretty
And today so am I.

It's the consequence 
Of the study and all the academic 
Glances that you have been using
To unravel me.

So tea in a pot, 
And all the fancy what-not,
Adds to the shine
Of the afternoon that was mine.
