Summer Rain (July 6th)

Dawn is the specter that is in tireless pursuit of the brief, 
evading night. Speckles of light peek through the placid grayness
as the damp asphalt serves as a reminder of the norm.

How common is a shrouded sky in the month of July?
How common is a scattered shower in the bosom of summer?  
A morning commute occupied with bewildered strangers,
enroute to work or home is a painted fixture.

The gentle cadence of a drizzle is reminiscent of a somber fall morning. 
Yesterday was a sweltering inferno......
with continuous pauses in traffic serving platters of
nostalgia, void of…..happiness, love and laughter.

The subtle scraping sound of the MAX across train tracks occupy the pauses between each moment of exhalation and Folgers. How common is a shrouded sky in the month of July?
How common is a scattered shower in the bosom of summer?

  1. This is where I will eventually have to explain the "bosom of summer" to Quasi Pundits. Is "Quasi Pundit" a proper noun? Lol
