like clockwork

cold wet teardrops fall 
windshield wipers swipe away 
Angels weep some more...

wipers swish white rice…
plateaus of snow and white ice
I should’ve thought twice...

The word "sanity" is written
On the window of a bright yellow car.
The window-wipers wipe it away.
Oh.
It's raining....

Rainy wipers across the window splash
Across the road you should not dash
To catch a piece of windblown trash
Waddle like a duck and you won’t crash...

The dreams of aero plane realized,
Seeing birds,
Surely wipers,
Seeing hands,
Wipers of different,these hands,
Wiping out his own eyes,
Reaching out to other eyes!...

on a somber day
these wipers
clear rain
like your words
wipe my tears
away

though invisible
i linger in the warmth
of the sunshine
you bring forth...

*rain*
pitter,
drippy, drops
on my windshield
sad polka dot world
falling in streaks
of dull gray
wipers
-swish-

blinding lightning 
shatters
watery darkness 
of the sky;

blast of thunder--
wipers shudder,
dragging themselves 
across

my rain-battered 
windshield;
need to pull over 
for a safe shiver....

blinding 
lightning 
cracks,
shatters
watery 
darkness 
of the sky;

blasts 
of thunder,
wipers 
shudder,
drag 
themselves 
across

my frosted,
rain-battered 
windshield;
need to 
pull over 
for a safe 
shiver!

Hear the soft pitter patter dancing off the roof?
A cleansing rain plummets the drain, offering
up its truth..
It sloshes streets and people's feet as it
clears the atmosphere.
Umbrellas swoosh, windshield wipers whoosh,
and life is slower here.....

While voices surround me ringing out
Life like a tape recorder on fast-forward
I take a breath, try to see straight
I let it all go, roll off me
Like rain on a windshield without wipers
Voices start to fade
The pounding silences
Rain subsides
I can live again
My life...

If you live in North Dakota
it’s hard to get all hot about   
global warming in the winter

while you watch the snow 
clog your wipers and you 
slip off the road but if you 

own a factory that makes  
short-sleeve shirts you know    
global warming is a hoax.

Rain

Rain 
Dripping wet
Tires spray
Drip drop drip

Puddles splash
Wipers swish
Colorform leaves
Stick stick stick

Signals shine
Mirrored roads
Raindrops fall
It pours n pours

Coffee brews
Slippers donned
Rain rain rain
All day long

A soft thump
then a skull cracking reverberation.
A sticky smear 
as a crushed form slides away.
A feather flutters fast on the windscreen,
stark between the bright fist
of glass and light.
For an instant death shudders
just as much as life.
Windscreen wipers will not
wipe away the memory....

A question on everyone's lips, where do farts go in space
Astronauts are propelled into the distance like a rocket without a trace
Others wearing special diapers
Called MAGs* outer space wipers
Though they don't eliminate the odor they do stop the chaos

RAINY DAY

precipitation
fallen leaves blocking gutter
deep pool of rainfall


RAIN

landscape soaked up rain
like sponge deprived of water
a time of cleansing


DRIVING in the RAIN

traffic on highway
window wipers to and fro
driving through puddles...

Will it be crackers or detergent?
A brick of cheese or some creamy mayonaise
Cash or check
Right or Left?

Stop or go reflecting on god's ranch dressing
The windshield wipers screech to a halt
Bifocals clouded, I reach for my wallet
No lettuce in there.

I guess the crystal light
Ran away with my low fat heart...

driving back home to you
in late night november rain
been thinking of everything
we’ve been through you and i

our song comes on the radio drowning
the hum of wipers against the windshield
as rain blurs the fleeting neon lights
or is it the memory of you blurring my eyes

A gray day  -
Harmoniously sky and highway match
In paisly and gray shadows, with
Shades darting in green between...

Rain drops suddendly splash
My windshield and their jaggered
Edges break apart as they slowly glide,
Playing tag with the wipers, trying
To make me smile my evening weather
Blues away.

Help me spring i wish to abolish winters melancholy ways send 
your wipers of summer so that we may shake the foundation of 
mothers ambivalence cohered her with your scents and colorful 
flora for she seems to have become absent of mind and heart 
wallowing in her winter satin remind her the path of your warm 
pastures to seed summers germination...

The road and river parallel
Each other as I ride
On the ferry where, with traffic
Non-existent, we do glide.

With windshield wipers flapping
In my car, I’d be real tense
But the boat ride is so calming
That it seems to recompense.

I ready my book and crossword solve
And even write my poem.
Before I know it, I’ll be back,
Relaxing in my home....

D-riving on the jagged highway 
I-s risky despite the light; 
Z-one of danger gets wider, 
O-n the fall of 
N-ight.

S-tart with a key of prayer, 
T-hirteenth morn January; 
A-s you travel on the horizon, be careful and wary.

C-heck the brakes and wipers, 
R-eady your tools and shoes; 
U-nder the falling rain, 
Z-igzag road makes you cautious....

Blame it all on warm beer 
at the stoplight.

The inside of my skull throbs
with the drone of tired traffic.
And windshield wipers whine
with my CD's old rock metallic.

Then, jolting my line of vision,
is a strapping, suspicious cop.
His clipboard and pen, enough
to make my sour hiccup stop.

Blame it all on warm beer 
at the stoplight.

The road home from Glasgow airport
Tyres in front crying on my windscreen
Combine with the pain from the dark clouds 
That blanket the horizon 
Make a misty view.

Hard to see
The wipers cannae keep up.

A difficult road to drive
Many lanes to cross
Many emotions to deal with.

Getting closer to home.
Less tyre spray
Clouds breaking up.

I'll see him again....
