Chase
rainbows on oil-slicked roads
gutters
gurgling muddiness filled
water-logged
potholes trap the wheels
splash
from passing cars at speed
distant
thunder, gritty rain
lightning
streaks dull grey sky
black
umbrellas streaming faces
snarls of
traffic with Doppler whines
honking siren's ambulance wails
stuck
behind trains of cars.
Someone
lives, someone dies
in the
minutes it takes for lights to change.
The
callous city keeps wading by
No grief,
no shame, not even a sigh.
