#2 Absurdity of Water

I didn't notice the rain

As it cascaded down windows

and turned sidewalks into shattered mirrors.

City lights glistened

I assume they glistened

As city lights often do in rainstorms.

I didn't see.

I didn't notice the lovers

Huddled under a shared coat

Leaping over puddles and laughing at the absurdity of water.

I didn't see these things.

I only saw you

My favorite storm.
