Cloudy skies are fine,
Like a blanket over me,
Soothing my fever.
Heat soars into blue,
While cooler thoughts linger on,
Forming fluffy clouds.
A lonely raindrop,
Kisses the page I’m reading,
As though to say, “Hi.”
The sky’s solid gray,
Reminds me that I’m gray, too,
Oh, how the time flies.
The cigarette smoke,
Lingers awhile above me,
Before moving on.
