Spinning rainbows in the gutter
like some drug crazed spider
an epitome for a rainy day
when the muck film rises from the streets like gray magic
an oil slick
wearing the street grime like rain gear
"calls it a slicker do they?"
I remember when it used to rain here
and the smell of damp earth would pierce my skin
and like that lady in that song said: "Wake me up in inside"
and I would awaken to the wonder of rainbows blossoming in the gutter
and the smell of wet garbage
and the tragedy and wonder of youth is:
it was all very wonderful the first time
until you began to wonder why someone doesn't clean this up
someone else, of course. coarse?
But maybe sooner or later we will live in a Brave New World
when the frenetic energy of our various scurryings across the face of the earth
are translated by tiny invisible wires or tiny invisible microbes
into rainbows of light to warm us and light the way.
