On Sunday I ran
over sidewalks and streets
cement roads and cobblestones
flying
under my feet
     I tried my very hardest
to catch
the rainbow
that had arced over my house just moments before
     When I lost sight
of my rainbow
I climbed fire escapes
and kept running
     No one stopped to talk
to a crazy kid
running faster than
cars
glancing furiously at the sky
looking for my rainbow
     And when I finally
couldn’t see my rainbow
anymore
I stopped
and sat down on the curb
     Catching my breath
because I almost caught my rainbow
