The Yerres, Effect of Rain by Gustave Caillebotte

it's subjective whether it's interesting at all
bye bye those that look no further than here
nothing mesmerising will be said, cast iron on that
it's more about breaking surface tension 
tiny pockets of vision that create a shock wave
when ripples hit and tingles take
right to the bed of the river, into feelings
and it's a perfect circle and a venn diagram 
you simply must stand and stare
for when the picture of this world scatters
you begin to imagine your own or sense it
storms push you sideways
all good painters and photographers know
you absolutely should find perspective: your own
all these musts and shoulds, apologies 
options are available, run for cover maybe?
perhaps I'll lie naked next time
await the revelations of the effect of rain 
get soaked beyond the skin
clear my mind and my memories 
there are things that get your blood pumping
somewhere in-between, when not too focussed
I'm glad we had this talk, you and I
it's cleared the air
