Mom "Don't go outside it's raining" Our great thinkers used to go out in the rain Why must I be contained during such a spectacle? What has changed? Let's see... Mom " You'll get sick" So our faucet dispenses a fluid purer than what freely falls from the clouds? What leaks through our ceiling isn't just a sign to fix our roof Maybe it's trying to drip back into our lives How do I know the rain doesn't miss me? What if the rain longs to sweep down my skin? I won't know Because "common sense" is overshadowing any piece, any connection we have to becoming a TRUE BEING alive Mom "Don't go outside its raining" Child "Okay" *I miss you too rain
