these rain dogs killed all the orphans

how long has it been since it last rained? the city escapes the bottle, the bottle escapes your clutch. and your back is stooped from knacks for the fine arts, witnessing cigarette-balancing hands slipping past your knees into the coldness of the february night.

and how long has it been since it rained ... the music no longer carries any tunes, there are just silence and the monsoons. some leaves falling from the bottle. and the sky.
