Rainy Day Poem (2016)
08 Jan 2018Rainy days in suburbia are dull and depressing,
but in New York City they are calm and beautiful.
The City itself shines so bright that on sunny days,
the compounding effect verges on manic.
Rain, not just April showers but the
hours-long,
dreary,
torrential-drip
kind
gets into the best-made plans and
best-shopped shoes of New Yorkers
forcing pedestrians and subway-goers alike to
STOP
curse at the sky,
and come to terms with their own soggy mortality.
There is a unified serenity in the defeat of perfection.
