Rain Slicked Sidewalks

Rain-slicked sidewalks line rain-slicked roads that run right by

dark red buildings that zig-zag with emergency exits

as I zig-zag down a rain-slicked sidewalk toward a bright white car;

 

Rain-slicked sidewalks line rain-slicked roads that frame a big metal bridge

that runs across the water as my mind walks down a one-way street.

Dark red buildings dampened with dark red bricks stand tall

as I make my way down the darkened streets of the day.

 

 Making my way down darkened day streets

heavy air joins running water that races under the bridge

 standing with steel confidence

 framed by dark red buildings that zig-zag with emergency exits;

 always lined by rain-slicked sidewalks that run next to rain-slicked roads.

 

 I walk down a rain-slicked sidewalk

towards a bright white car at the corner of the rain-slicked road.

Taking in the dark red buildings and the bridge of steel confidence.
