Description Rainy Days

Out of nowhere, grey clouds
swallow the blue.
Birds fly for cover,
Windows are closed.
Out the window,
rain starts to trickle down the glass..

drip.
drip..
drip...

Arm resting against the window, head tilted.
... the rain begins to fall harder.
.. "next stop cha.."
The rain drowns out the annoucer like a crowd
at a football game.

Wrist turns, examine the cuts on your hands..
red? no.. brownish.
.. "next stop chatsw.."

Stand? - rain hammers against the glass
Walking towards the door..
People shuffle infront of you like bees to nectre
No reason to push, relax.
The doors open,
People rush in, and rush out like the gust of wind
which carries the leaves on a windy autmn day.

Inhale - the water stains the air.
A particular refreshing smell,
Walk up stairs, water over the rail.

Ticket in, Ticket out
.. another train ride.

"..another train ride."
but certainly not just another poem. this is terrific. everything you said leaves a clear image - the movement, the sound. it makes me feel like i'm watching a b&w movie. great poem, kni.
