Paint Rain
It is raining paint Red, Green and Blue on streets, houses cats, dogs, and you It is raining hard on a mob or a parade all their flags, banners, rags are both different and the same (: easy to see it is hard to tell, who's glad, who's mad what to love, what to hate :) Trees and bushes are paintbrushes the grass below the canvas, raw The streets are rivers of exotic snakes the cars are turtles in parking lot lakes thunder and lightning add sound and surprise to all kinds of rain painting down at once Steady paint sets the stage for heavy paint to come down freezing rain drops statues splashing on to the ground the rain comes and goes paints roofs, umbrellas big strokes, tiny drops it even paints the bugs a tiny ant leaving tiny ant footsteps colored a whitish gray on a spider's red web enter the earthworms crawling above ground safe from the beaks of painted ducks Acid rain at last like the old paint at the rusty bottom of a can fell and they ran and ran for cover to somewhere dark untouched, bland uniform, dugout the rain stopped as all rains do this painted world is unreal, old, new.
