lavender rain

lavender oil triumphs my stench
muggy springtime
rain flies diagonally
across the yellow beams of streetlamp
light crosshatches into a spectrum

like a sound wave glistening in
liquid crystal display:
schizophrenic signals
down to the shining street

raindrops weave back and forth
back and forth

groove needle
on a record

when it hits the sign
no parking

the rain,
it pings

May 2005
