Steely Rain
You watch the hair of rain
Thicken and thin
In the headlights of cars
As their wheels sluice
Through the foamy scruff,
Spraying you in benediction (As tears used to once When you still had Capacity for them),
As you wait to finish listening to a song* Spilling out of café With this refrain:
"You go back, Jack, Do it again, Wheel turning round and round."
* Steely Dan's awesome "Do It Again"
My Poems
