Pulling Up Daisies

Rainbow

The puddle on Chestnut Street
has gotten bigger,
and I swear,
every time I look at it,
it's a different color.
Yesterday it was orange – like Gatorade and Cheez-its –
this morning it was dark purple - your eyeshadow,
without the sparkles.
But I checked it an hour ago and it was gone.
Only an oil stain remained.
