No one has come to receive him.
“It’s the rain.” He thinks.
The green bends and bows. The black
glistens and runs. His raincoat 
murmurs about its own importance.
No one hoists a welcome board.
He dials for a cab. The surge pricing 
stabs him. The roofs, sheds, and the tiles
tap the memory’s resources.
They agree and build an industry of sadness.
