Rush

Rush, a fleeting feeling--
a thunderclap on a sunny day.
Rush is a stagelight,
applause when you exit stage left.
Rush is static electricity,
metal shock on a dry day.
Rush is a butterfly kiss
on a feverish cheek. 
Rush is a kick delivered inches
from your face.
Rush is a cartwheel that yells, 
"Game on!!!"
Rush is a caffeine jolt 
on a zombie work day.
Rush is a horror movie scream
piercing through the night.
Rush is a "hello" at sleepy 5 p.m.
Rush is a nanosecond sensation, 
a glance from across the street.
