Fireflies

Tiny bursts of neon
Seem to polka-dot the skies,
Courtesy of lightning bugs
(A.K.A. fireflies).

Their blinking lights go on and off
As they go flitting past,
But never in the place where you
Could swear you saw them last.

As charming as they are, I think
Each time I get to see one,
That all things being equal,
I would rather see than be one.
