Out In the Rain
Walls loomed around me
Down empty streets
Streetlights flickering
A plastic bag dancing
Somewhere a dog barking
A distant roll of thunder
I clutch my poncho tighter
The rain tap dancing
Acrosss my bright yellow poncho
It's so very quaint
And somehow nostalgic
Scurrying down empty roads
To the patter of raindrops
But the sky is emotional
Crying on a ghost world below
I know not what causes it pain
Of if there's even any blame at all
Perhaps the tears just fall
Because it sees me all alone
In my bright yellow poncho
Always in a hurry
But never going anywhere
And every time I get a sense of direction
I'm once again reminded
Of the walls looming around me
