It rained in my city this afternoon
the drains choked
the roads croaked
the traffic groaned with boredom
thousands of birds
flew over a garbage dump
to find shelter
and the garbage dump caught fire
a man in a neon green jacket
looked clueless
while directing traffic
a bus drowned and
all the passengers
got out in time
the doctors at government hospitals
announced the onset
of a flu- a new one
spread by ugly shoes
an angry orange god
stared at me from a cab
and I dumped a wet cigarette
on a bald head, that didn’t
belong to me
but the rain was too much
to bear
and the city cried
for better days
now that the sun will
be out tomorrow
we will once more be hoarse,
vying for rain.
Nicely penned!
