SUMMER RAIN

the sky tears open, rain pours down,
cakes windows in wet spots
a fly drops to the floor to drown,
another hits the walls a lot
not seeing what they are
he cannot change the life he got
though futile and bizarre

a woman has a grocery bag
of paper, weak and brittle
we all know it will start to sag
remaining noncomittal
to what's within that is, oh no!
what will she do when all her shopping 
down the drain will go?

the bus doors open, I step out
and rain drips on my face
the children scream, the parents shout!
we share this inconvenience
but I stay neutral in this place
this summer day, despite dismay
is part of life's experience

a holiday in dreadfulness
the warm air smells like sweat
make songs of it, give it a kiss
my shoes are full of water
the planet is too hot
here comes a reporter
and asks me what I've got
i answer.
"i got wet"
