Parasols
Colorful, cheap plastic parasols
Black, red, blue, and yellow
Bobbing up and down
Between the pines
The rain is falling from up above
Cold gray skies hang over the edges
Parasols fill the streets
Flood down the hill
Spill round the corner and out the gate
Like so many droplets of rainwater
