water droplets

on the outside

of the car window

making a light

pitter patter

each

its own shape

some thin

and long

others small

and circular

each growing larger

as another

lands on top

gaining

enough weight

to slide

slightly down

like a snowball

absorbing mass

from other droplets

on the descent

streaking

faster

until joining

the fallen ‘fore

in a small stream

at the base

of the window
