Gutter Rainbows

-

Gutter: A channel at the side or in the middle of a road or street, for leading off surface water.

Rainbow: A bow or arc of prismatic colors appearing in the heavens opposite the sun and caused by the refraction and reflection of the sun's rays in drops of rain and/or splashes of water.

Very rarely have both these collided.
A metaphorical oxymoron,
If you will. Gutters. Dark dingy places, where,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reside.
Rainbows. Making  everything blessed and pleasant. 
If the sun can transform gutter water,
To rainbows, that we can enjoy.
Then why can't it transform our lives?
Have you ever
Felt melancholic
On a hot summers day?   
When the garss is green
And there isn't a cloud in sight?
Everyone around you is smiling.
But you're the only one
Who isn't. When that happens
You've hit rock bottom.
However, rock bottom has,
Gutter Rainbows.
