Analysis of Teardrops on a Glass Pipe
Thomas W. Case 1966 (California)
Sometimes, on rainy days I stare out the
windows; the shadows play
tricks.
I see happier times,
when we were decent to each other.
Yellow flowers, blue skies, I blink
and then the rain
looks like tear drops on a glass pipe,
or dragons rising in the bowl.
