a poem

By WhoIAM

i sit in the rain
next to a building
under its canopy
smoking and watching

people walk in and out
cars start and drive off
cars drive in and park
the drizzle is illuminated in the parking lots lights

a woman
in a designer coat
wearing elegant jewlery
steps out of a BMW

she opens a yellow umbrella

on it is typed,
in large black letters:

"shit.
its raining"

    Hmm well the type who are "strictly-business" always seem to have this cold pessimism around them...weird but true...
