rain
drip-dropping
from an over swollen sky
you hop and prance
about
gray sweatshirt thrown overhead
such a practical
makeshift umbrella
dodge the shallow puddles
before plunging
accidentally on purpose of course
into the deeper pools
from my plastered on the corner
perch
i watch you
red sneakers sloshing
across drenched pavement
only a dull
twenty four hours ago
the both of us happened to be
safe and warm
sipping lukewarm coffee
and choking
on the smoke from cigarettes
generic brand
of course
joking, laughing,
even wishing
we could drown ourselves
in a purple, red, lilac
