Who Can Stop The Rain?
Was priviledged enough today to be blessed with my own private and impossible natural phenomenon/eleme nta linvig or(e: it rained inside the Union Square subway station.
The light’s not so good down there and without any closure or break for the last 4.5 days, my eyes aren’t so sharp, they’re subject to interference, and they’re prone to outright lying…well, okay, frequent misleading suggestion…I thought I was seeing rain over the tracks and I thought I could hear it too, but I had my iPod in, and one of those earphones is crackly, hissing, and poppy, and the station reverberates with exoskeletal rhythms and clank-echo orchestras. Doesn’t seem right and I can’t focus well enough to tell with just a peep outward, so I naturally look up to confirm but it’s dark up there, still the concrete arches were viewable. No.
But momentarily what I see or think I see is compelling enough to canvas it all again in case I missed or overlooked something or forgot to out-Columbo Columbo. I’m pretty much the skeptic the whole time—I mean, like “addict,” “hallucination” is probaly most often not what people expect or think of it they are. A) I didn’t see completly random and formed and animated things that interacted with flesh and blood, and B) I checked and rechecked but wasn’t ever bowled over, awe-struck, let alone f………………I’m done here………….fading, boy……………..for now, anyway…………..
