California at August Rain, a poem by Peter Menkin

Existential poem by the aspiring poet Peter Menkin, workshopped on Academy of American Poets site (Poets.org) in 2008, written around 2000. Read by the poet, the poet says of the poem on the workshop site:

"The work is part of a series of "painter" poems that paint a picture. This one made in the summer of a look down the highway where I saw about midpoint in the California daylight a man walking. I had this feeling of loneliness, of a shiftlessness with the cars traveling up the road and the time of day, the man small and alone. Existential is a very good description of the statement I intended."
