Tuesday Again

by

Doug Larson

7:15 and time to go
rain falling on my head in heavy drips
as I run to the car
It's a gray fades to black kind of day
with chunks of blue-white lapis
and a band of dull turquoise west.
The wipers are quiet this morning
not the usual thup thup
I see umbrellas with legs
and teenagers
hoods up
like the Jawa from Star Wars
A man walks his dog
while shielding his head
The dog is oblivious to the weather
jumps and wags his tail
happy to be outside
The painted sign over Starr Video looks wet
changes my train of thought
The gates drop, red lights flashing
Metrorail cruises by
overhead contacts sparking
unaffected by the rain
I drive past Quality Donut and wonder:
do they have more than one?
Slam bam and down Alameda
trucks trailing mist
as roostertail clouds
leviathans of industry on either side
and I'm right in the middle
dancing
for my piece of the pie.

NEXT?
