Above our heads exists a vast ether of ideas
and we’re lucky enough
to feel the rain from time to time.
These drops manifest in
our music,
our words,
our dance.
So don’t curse the weather man
with the tacky yellow rain jacket.
Rejoice in the coming deluge
and cup your hands to receive
this
communal
water
Open your eyes
so these enlightened raindrops
may find their way
through to our souls
so steadfastly guarded
against
heavenly
intervention.
