Tim and the Rain on the Glass:

Tim watches the rain
slowly gathering
on the glass

rivers
waterfalls
errant splotches

pooling
gradually

then ebbing
in their own
particularly
way

before another
flood breaks
across the window pane

the lights of passing cars
racing across the fractured sea
scattering copies of themselves
caught for this moment
in a kaleidoscope of tears

muted colors filling the spaces
with a palette of grays and greens

Tim is mesmerized

as he tries
to capture
the vignette

to grasp the way
the lights
and colors
are transformed
by the
rain

Tim breathes in slowly

listening to the drops
hit the glass

delicately drumming
hypnotic
doldrums

sight and sound
flowing
through time

until
Tim decides
to go watch TV
