Rain

...........
written in my head while sitting at a bus stop in the rain with dillon and jesi.
...........

Rain
splashes to the pavement
by the cigarette butts
at our feet.
flattens the grass
that lies limp
at the curb
blurs the world
outside the shelter.
Maybe it will wash me away,
but oh well –
I will turn this umbrella
upside
down
float along the stream
that was the road
and out to sea.
Maybe there will be
sushi
on a desert island
or at least
a decent beach.
Want to come?
This is a happy rain
because
you are my friends.
I am bedraggled, but life
is beautiful.
Don’t ask me why
I’m smiling,
please…
the rain is making me
ridiculous.

*Sniffle* this makes me miss yo all the more. Also, sushi.

It's okay, rain makes me silly too. Unless I'm alone, then it makes me sad and wet.

But I like this one, and not just cuz it kind of involves me. Well I like all of what you do....but this one I like especially!
