Seattle in March
It’s gray today
has been all week
gray and rainy and dark green
the colors of the city washed clean
coffee shops—3 or 4 to a block
cappuccinos and lattes spill out the doors
puddles of left over rain water
in the streets and on sidewalks
murmurs from the people walking
dressed in raincoats
carrying their shopping bags
and their coffee
the rain starts and stops
like the buses on the street
Pamela Olson, 4/3/08
