The Kentucky Derby fireworks kick off the horse races
I parked the car in a supermarket parking lot a couple miles away
the crowds on foot up ahead
an airplane with a giant sparkler was flying around
throwing fireworks from the cockpit
a prolific display began above our city skyline view
I closed my eyes to sneak a little nap while the kiddies watched in excitement
A cool night breeze drifted the smoke towards us
The odor of a Chinese New Year rolled in the windows
The smoke of the magnificence soon dimmed all
but the brightest flower bursts
Then A meager finale ending, then quiet.
My ten year old gave the ultimatum that next time we Must
be closer.
I pulled out and began to drive home when an uncontrollable thunder for a lengthy couple of minutes startled me back to living
Fireworks filled my rearview mirror
