Lost umbrella

I've lost my first umbrella,
officially, today.
The blue one just got stolen
outside the local library
another one was maimed
a pearl of umbrellas,
still outside the local library
really, that place's a dump
concerning umbrellas' freaks.
But today was on sight
almost deliberate
almost liberating:
its rain coat had slipped some time ago
and now the staff has given me
the slip.
I went back to look for it
a frantic half a minute
but time had passed
people had moved
and buses had changed.
Red umbrella,
I tried my best with you.
Go in peace.
May you serve well your next suitor
if they're worth it.
