04-30-14 New York City Downpour Blues

people on the street
all in lousy mood swings
splashing through puddles
when the sewers overflow  

high pressure cold front
sheets of rain pouring down
flooding the subway stations
rats running down the platform

abandoned broken umbrellas
litter the sidewalks on Fifth Avenue
pidgeons splashing in the park
the hot pretzel vendor stayed home

sunshine in the afternoon
soaking wet with nothing left to lose
steam rising off the pavement
double rainbow over Manhattan
