Rainy Road

I like how colors shimmer over the rain on the roads. Reds and greens from traffic lights, whites from speed limits, and honeys from streetlights. The shadows of trees blurring in the water.

I like the smell of water and mist while my window wipers are flailing like Kermit.

I like jamming out to my current favorites right before a mid-to-me song sneaks in. Kinda like how I sneak in a poem before work.

“Sir,

(I can’t believe I’m saying this),

but you need to pay

less

attention to the road

while you’re driving.”
