A Light Rain

The train

Runs by

in the rain

Bustling down

On the city streets

The oil smell

Pulls from underneath the wind

And over toward me

I can see a person sitting

Watching

And looking back

Right at me

Simple Times

Were there ever simple times?

A time when everything was smooth

As the morning dew

Rather I object

That time neither existed

In romance or

Realism but

Was a fragment

Of imagination

Lodged in the hopeful

For today is the day

Of hope for me

Regardless of the fate I see

We start in with

Today
