Blacktop

4/20/11



Rain on the blacktop
rushes along asphalt
carving lines to match
the set on the face of the beggar keeping dry
under a bus stop shelter.
Spare some change?
Mine's all over my boots
holding out for the hope that something might move
soaked to the bone but remember
i felt her yesterday
just before waking up
avoid puddles as you walk back home
your too precious to be caked in mud
