[ it rained ]

the static grey sky
like background noise
from a neon lightbulb
nourishes cold, selfish beauty
...cold soles of hard shoes
on brick sidewalks
chrome and glass giants overlooking
waterstained cement overpases
plastic cellphones
and paper coffeecups
people sleeping on metal benches
at the whitecapped waterfront
feed off the flatline weather.

and then, it rained.
