Think Positive On A Rainy Day

Cold and dank room at midday
Wet clothes spread on floor and bed
Sun hides behind heavy clouds
Sheets of rain 

Slippery ground

Friend sends a message
"Are you doing good?"
I complain "Bad rainy day"
"Use no negative words
Not even for rain" she writes back

Not that rain troubles me
I stay comfortable
Lying on bed
staring at sky
Through my window
criss crossed with grill

But down there on busy street
I hear non stop beeps
Of cars, buses, ambulance,lorries jeeps
Two wheelers might zig zag
Through maze with speed
But four wheelers wait impatiently

I feel their frustration in traffic jam
I am sure there is water logging somewhere, 

or a pothole, 

a broken pavement, 

a path covered with fungus green or 

on a footpath a missing slab

People trying a balancing act, 

somebody must have missed their step, 

fell on their knees, 

broke an ankle, 

bruised their limb
Patients flock to hospitals
With illness more serious than a sneeze

"Use no negative words" 

says my friend
I look on this dark day for positivity
Doctors happy, their biz is good

City continues to be crippled by heavy rains
