RAINY NIGHT IN AUSTIN

it rained in austin town last night
i lay with my back hard-pressed
against the doorway of my downtown suite
the finest in sidewalk accomodations
rivulets of water swirled around and under me
my cardboard mat turned to sponge
remembering when rain on a tin roof
was a luxury to sleep by
my eyes shut tight, searching
for the beauty in austin rain tonight
