It was in the Garrison

in the ghetto  
 
cloudy day  
 
then light rain  
 
a bit more  
 
than drizzle  
 
kissed earth  
 
 
I looked out the gate  
 
 
up jumped  
 
a tiny lizard  
 
seizing  
 
its portion of  
 
water  
 
 
then another  
 
outta nowhere  
 
and as no surprise
 
three and four  
 
 
hopping  
 
sopping  
 
every drop
 
in their brief  
 
tropical  
 
respite  
 
 
all I needed  
 
was to see,
 
almost be
 
 it
