streets look like a painter’s canvas.

Unimaginable colours from advertising screens

reflect on wet surfaces,

looking like a rainbow scattered across

the floor as they fell from the sky.

The whisper of static

as cars whip up water

before they hit the drains.

The manic dash people make,

laughing in shock

as rain falls unforgivingly

from the skies.

There are those with a steely resolve,

determined to smoke outdoors

no matter the weather.

It also brings people together

as they huddle under umbrellas.
