INTO THE RAIN

Safeway parking lot

early morning, almost light

lone duck waddle-wanders

between the lines

across the vast,

through sudden puddles –

aimless and unhurried

while we rush past

    Maybe the duck knows
    the secret to life
    is NOT running for the train
    if’s singing in the rain!
