*****

rain in drops

falls down to ground
drumming to a song -
a song of new orleans
on a very rainy day

people run
on the sidewalks
wet from head to toes
rolling eyes and cursing
on a very rainy day

all will wait
tapping with feet
rain running down necks
faces twist in anger
on a very rainy day

finally
the waiting ends
the running begins
when the flickering light
on a very rainy day 

changes color from red to green
