dreary rain
by lauren d'auria

its raining out and
the weather reflects
the usual faces every
one is always looking
down like they
are following a
trail of invisable
excitement on the
ground minus the smile
entertaining a blank stare
there dare not be
any interaction unless
the rare accidental
bump into excuse me
the only words exchanged
if one eye meets another
quick hide behind umbrellas
oh that was just me
reflecting parallel in windows
that scared me for a second
thought someone cared
