May Day 1993

Water on the yellow buses.
Rooftops welcome the sky.
An airplane and its noise
simply break the union
between tile and rain.
A rainy May day.
Soaked banners let the words
forever flee away.
An old comrade jams
the leaden sky into his pocket
and smiles smiles
watching the forgotten dream
walking along.
