When it rains it pours
we say
sink or float
leaves for boats in
a perfect puddle
the playground is ours
and the rain picks up
we are singing we are swinging
and everything is new
for a couple of hours
The grey arrived
along with fall thoughts
dad worries
electric bill went up
temporary crown broken
mom split a gut laughing
at an inside joke from childhood
and the kids grow and grow and grow
until we are all very old.
rain, rain
splish splish splash
thunder lightning
listen- CRASH!
Oh now feel it
when it rains it pours
centrifugal force
and I see the grey and
it smells like rain
and I feel it
I feel it
Alive and afraid to lose.
Less and less light
on such incredible views
melancholy
right on cue
and I feel it.
