Neon Rain

At last... The cold, drizzling rains Are letting up And letting me out... Weary legs need a stretch So tired of wrestling With things I cannot control Out on an aimless walk Confused and lost Yet I know where I am And that's the hardest part And the hardest to forget... The night and the city Tries to help... Bright flashing signs High and out of sight To these damp eyes And still I see them Their faded colors Splashed on the sidewalk ...neon rain... Has been falling for days Stray drops attempt to tickle Down the nape of my neck In an effort to cheer me up ...would be nice tonight... I go looking unconsciously For a sure thing... The harsh reds and yellows Do nothing to pull me in Only the comfort of blue Flickering diner lights And steamy bowls and mugs ...I could use a drink Of something warm...
