rain boots
Overcast skies
and rain-stained roads wind
beneath my tattered rain boots
/still blue puddles
scattered across the pavement
the squeak of my boots
resound
as I walk to each pool
/I smile and lift my arms
to grab momentum's hands
and:
Splash!
Splash!
Splash!
blue puddles bursting
/the damp air is laced with
recycled rain and laughter
as the moment is seen
through a faded picture;
