Stories from the Road 2002
an ongoing travelogue

=======================================================================

rain is tapping down

pattering on cool, hard yellow taxi tops.

the overcast sky creates highlights

on the wet metal.

mirroring panels

ring around and push out from contours smooth and bruised.

the monsoon is finally falling.

from clouds to glass, water beads-up,

the windows cry

and small brown skins dance in their shorts,

performing cartwheels in the warm release of this anxious Calcutta sky.
