They seemed dry,

The sunny sky
Warmed and dried
The laundry outside

While sitting in the rain
Immersed in the pain
The clothes get wet
The longer they set
And the longer they'll be, 'til dry

Rushing the rain
Can't be done
And neither can air drying clothes

They may look dry

Though if you take them out of the sun too soon,
You'll be left with the wet pockets to remind you

How wet those tears made them
