Sorbet in the Rain

Some days I feel like flower that’s losing its bloom, with flailing petals drooping over a slack stem. I felt like this today, as I stood outside of Harvard Square T station, eating my free cup of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. It was sorbet actually, sweet and tart, cold and yielding. I spooned the sorbet in my mouth, watching the college kids saunter about in the light rain. It was not a good day for free sorbet, but some things we cannot control.
