Jules breaks the newspaper in half
and leaves it on a bench.
Dogs circles the park
until she leaves. 
Pine drops in bunches
onto the bench every so often
until she leaves

Jules rides her bike around
The perimeter of the town.
Some days she stops to rub her hands
over the mountains. Jules wears her favorite
floral dress to the movies, but when
she returns  from the bathroom,
 the screening is over, or the theater is too smoky,
or someone takes her seat.

Because it is raining Jules
is a messy rain     past midnight
no one is up     Jules put on shoes
and walks into the halting rain,
A house light comes on.
She goes to the curb     the street
unfolds     rolls and rolls
