Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
firetruck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city.

Comments2WOWZERS, THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES! I REMEBER READING THIS GEM WAY BACK WHEN I WAS A KID. REGARDLESS OF THE YEARS, IT STILL STRIKES HOME!!! KINDA HAUNTING AND MYSTERIOUS 👻 HONESTLY, NEVER THOUGHT I'D STUMBLE UPON IT ON THE INTERNET. ALWAYS THOUGHT OF IT AS A HIDDEN GEM. IT HITS DIFFERENTLY NOW! 🚒🚒🚒
DOING HOMEWORK AND FOUND THIS! BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES! DID NOT EXPECT IT TO MAKE ME FEEL SO NOSTALGIC!! CRAZY HOW POWERFUL WORDS CAN BE!! 📚🚒🌃
