when it rains

where do the squirrels go
perhaps inside a tree or beneath a big leaf
maybe underground to huddle in a group
a few brave souls probably stay with faces upturned to the sky
I’m pretty sure that I’ve seen wet squirrels before
but when it rains so steady as it has done today
where do the homeless people go
not into tree not beneath a leaf though I am sure there are a few undergrounds
but in general really I am asking as I see the puddles grow outside
where do the homeless go in the rain
those folks I saw just yesterday in Back Bay
not far from this squirrel
on the streets in the alleys on the benches
some asking for money some fighting and others praying
I don’t know where they go in the rain
but I probably should
sail away sail away …

Again, I think it was one of those moments when, if a child had been crossing the bridge, he or she would have asked me, “What are you looking at? What are you taking pictures of over there?” But adults, for the most part, tend to be more polite or simply distant. So, while I think I stood there quite a while in that spot on the bridge that crosses the Mystic, I only received sidelong glances. No one asked me any questions. No one came over to peer over the rail where I focused my camera. What would they have seen? I suppose a dead fish floating in the shallows is not the most enticing sight but I’m telling you … in that sunlight in those moments as its form rose and fell with roll of the water, it was beautiful.
