Rainy Day Dreams

Alicia: *Composed while sitting in Panera Bread waiting on my Chai Tea Latte with soymilk. No, it wasn't raining - it needs to, but it's really only been spurting down on us every other afternoon or so.

Rainy Day Dreams

One day - it rained.

The sky opened twice

Cleverly dropping cats -

And dogs - some say.

Well, how I laughed!

That is to say -

People stared. Wondering why -

I came by that part of town.

Whispers in the corner.

Trolleys down the lane.

Bumbling men selling trees.

Did I say it was raining?

Crooked mazes of red cobblestone ...

How come I to this place?

... And windy angry rivers

Made angrier still by the rain.

Well, one day I just looked.

And it was raining.
