Strange how a wet and rainy day saps the energy out of your plans




Tecumseh Road

 

 

Sluggish rains with nowhere else to go

Grey the road and  green the grass

Hobbling my erstwhile plans alas

Contemplating today’s pale indigo

 

Aimless now with nowhere else to go

Ennui dissolves all my paltry goals as

Sullen drops on the windshield glass

Driving on a sodden Tecumseh road

 

As the wipers metronome

A perfunctory beat

Indigo

Indigo
indigo
