there is something about the rain
it makes you someone you're
not.
maybe it's dissociation, that comes
with the first raindrop to hit your hand
or cheek.
your mind leaves your body
and for a second you find yourself
elsewhere.
before you know it, it is pouring
and you are still outside in the
rain.
and even if it makes you
not quite you, you'll still stand
outside
while
it
rains.
