Last night as I left the library it was raining. Me? I am prepared for winter. And not just winter, but another walking winter. New winter boots, winter coat and all the winter accessories. I am actually looking forward to it. If it ever comes.
As I leave the library,
As the gray leans to dark,
The rain catches my hair,
I turn my face up.
The woman with the rainbow umbrella
Dry under cover
Smiles at me
As she enters.
I am still on foot.
Almost a new year,
It should be snow by now.
Almost a new year,
I have new boots
In sure and certain hope
Of snow.
But no
It is rain that catches me
As I leave the library.
The woman with the rainbow umbrella
Walks in dry
as I leave
Into the wet.
It should be snow by now
Almost a new year.
I have new boots.
