WHY DO I LOVE LISTENING

Why do I love listening
To the rainy streets
Amplifying the sounds of cars
Passing with a slow draw
As if giants were unsheathing
Their swords, where every straight line
Seems to waver on the verge of being
Something else? A rhetorical
Question, given the level of intoxication
People seem to be going for
Drunk on things and so on –

The rainy streets offer a refuge
Like a membrane between
A too solid world
And another.
