I love how the rain brings the city to life,
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.
