Rainwalking
black umbrella, dark as the sky,
over head clouds moving slowly by,
dropping misty curtains as they go,
unveiling what my four eyes see
ahead, beyond the spots.
sidewalk walking,
glass topped bus stop,
straight ahead and slightly left,
blue sky tarp,
covers two shopping carts,
mirrored squares decorate the front,
hiding more belongings,
bust show your expression
if you dare look, yourself,
in the eye as you are judging him,
homeless, and using,
a corner of a bus stop as a storage depot,
temporary,
until a complaint, brings the transit police,
and a pickup to steal it all away,
oh and they brought their tazer, "just in case..."
"next stop, 94A and King George Boulevard,
Surrey Memorial Hospital"
