Poem In Black and White
Its my umbrella
I would shake out the rain
leave it upside down on the porch
I carried it like a torch and the rain never washed it out
And when I was about in the rain
I would use it as a cain
Always wore my boots withmy umbrella
Always had a newspaper in my arm with my umbrella
Then in a flash of thunder you walked away in the rain dots on your face
your stilletos splashed
you were walking on water
I was chasing after you like Mary Poppins
I found a cab to avoid the rain and I never saw
my umbrella again
You walk through soft mirrors
You blend in
You take off your coat she said nothing
about the weather
The hostess cold and darting eyes
I shall remove your coat
You will walk through the soft mirrors.
