Morning Commute

  Morning Commute



every morning i pass

a curved brick wall



the grout

…………shows the route

……..of water trickles

….in mortar channels



……….in tiny piles

……..it lies at the base

…for all who wish to see



traffic…………..slows here



……i am not

…the only one

..rubbernecking

this accident of

…architecture



…grooves are fine



……piles distract



………brick walls

…………should not

……………curve

Tried to use the format to reinforce the word pictures.  Use your imagination and perhaps you'll see the path the water takes through the words.
