THE OLYMPIC RAINS

[mahuairong]

By Ma Huairong

In October, the Olympic season,
The rains have got their own colors---
the five colors each down to the wet globe.

With lightning to hit the rainbow,
Blue is the stage.
Black is the coach.
Yellow is the ribbon.
Red is the Flag.
What about green?
Green is the view down below my window---
Around a plastic & rubber playground
of a middle school flooded in shallow water
reflected are the willows alongside as if on banks.
