observations

hard to fit

into a long drawn out day

of work watching as people dodge

raindrops getting wet just the same

as the cars they arrived in

not far from my home

but far enough away

everyone here is a stranger

so many pass and so many more on the way

can only concentrate on what’s here right now

rain, work and thoughts that help me

pass the time with a smile

all the while observing that which goes on all around me

some run they hate rain

some walk not bothered by the soaking drops

and some still children mostly enjoy the skies tears

and rejoice jumping in puddles…
