On the windshield of the bus
a pattern emerging;
The course of the rain drops
leaving an impression
Like the tracks of
a colony of ants,
in the dust, the dirt
under a rock
Capillaries of dirt, of dust
of convenience, the water;
Droplets coming together
becoming a river
Pushed from the center
pulled to the margin;
Droplets coming together
becoming a river
The pathway etched
a canyon remaining;
Droplets coming together
becoming a river
