the rain, again

the news said it wasn't a gully washer

but it was close

even if the skies settled a bit and the sun opened up

briefly

i almost made it

left the office late

when it started to sprinkle

the smells of rain thru trees

of rain on sidewalks and streets

sparkling

wet speckled my glasses

double- and triple-vision

for a moment almost knew where i was going
