RAINBOW

Today after the sunshine
We had some rain
And the sky turned
To a medium gray
Before too long
The sun broke through again
Giving us a complete rainbow

It began
As I looked out my motel window
On the parking lot of McDonald’s
Then rose curving upward
Then bending down
About a football field away
Into the gasoline pumps
At a Standard Gas Station

There were no pots of gold
The vision itself
Was the treasure
That vanished
Within five minutes
