Rain splinters town.!
!

City Jungle!
Rain pours on town.!

Lizard cars cruise by;!

their radiators grin.!

Cars speed by;!

You can see their radiators.!

Thin headlights stare -!

shop doorways keep!
their mouth shut.!

Cars headlights shine -!

shops doors,!
are locked.!

At the roadside,!
hunched houses cough.!

Along the roadside,!

city apartments are musty.!

Newspapers shuffle by,!

hands in their pockets.!
The gutter gargles.!

Newspapers shuffle in the air,!

stuck in benches.!
The gutter drains the rain water away.!

A motorbike snarls;!
the dustbins flinch.!

A motorbike drives by;!

knocking serval dustbins over.!

Streetlights bare!
their yellow teeth.!
The motorways cat-black long tongue!
lashes across!
the glistening black!
of the tarmac night.!

The motorways
black tar!
stretchers across!
the dark night.!
