you asked me to explain,

i did so lightly. the other said no one else

dare ask.

i tell you it is a full and complicated story

no one knows i almost drowned this morning
no one knows i fought the rolling waves
no one knows i faced a torrential downpour
im drenched in it i can
feel it but no one else can
no one knows im soaked
head to toe
no one knows im covered
with the droplets,
cold when
the wind blows
