Sunlight on the Floor of the Flying J
“Light breaks where no sun shines”
-Dylan Thomas
To get to the floor light starts with the sun
About 92 million miles from here
Eight minutes
Unless a photon wrecks along the way
And everyone must wait for a cosmic tow
Sunbeams slant silently across the sky
And in formation past our coffee cups
So fast
Down past our table, and ever more down
Until they land on the freshly-mopped tiles
I take a picture of the sunlit floor
Because I am so easily amused
Light is fun

It's not the winged Pegasus of the old Mobil stations, but the Flying J logo will have to do.
Thanks.
I miss The Flying Red Horse.
