Skyscrapers stuck
like birthday candles
in a cement cake,
pierce the hovering
clouds and loom
larger than leviathans
over throngs of people
pulsing from Grand
Central Station.
Watching their swiftly
moving feet instead
of the darkening sky,
they ignore the rain
until it splats in front
of them in round,
fat droplets, marking
the sidewalk
like dotted Swiss.
Umbrellas in rainbow
colors click
into position over
carefully coifed heads—
and then the sun
comes out, peeking
through the mottled
brume like a Mid-
Western farm girl,
pressing her pug nose
against the window
of a Medallion cab.
