Poetry In Motion

That is, put on TriMet buses. My brother had a poem selected. However, the bus company had no idea which poem was on what bus, so I never did see it.

ON RAIN

All morning I study rain:
solemn on the shingled roof,
bubbly in the puddle!
Preliminary finding:
many kinds of rain to hear,
many shades of gray to see.
The yin & yang of rain:
filling up the sparrows' basin,
knocking down the apple blossoms.
