It is raining in the city;

Water is falling on the street.

It pours across the cement,

Then from gutters into the deep.

Upon the puddle-flecked street;

Dazzling neon lights shine.

Their light spills onto the water,

Thick and full as wine.

Yellow, orange, red and blue,

A melting rainbow of liquid light,

The surface is dappled with color;

Illuminated in the dark of night.

My footsteps splash into puddles;

Droplets are lit up in the air.

It's a chaos of shining dynamite,

An explosion of life and flair.
