rain

why does it always rain hard?

why am i drenched?  - there's a hole in my umbrella.

i can look through it and get spattered in the eye.

so much for seeing where i'm going.

why does it always rain hard?

why am i cold? - i hug my jacket to me.

i can feel my breath and warm my face.

i can't seem to feel my toes.

where are my toes taking me?

i seem to be going in circles.

i've splashed through that puddle three times already.

is this the way i've been going all along?

water flows downhill, right?

i don't want to go that way; i want to go up.

i will set a new course to get to higher ground.

maybe i can get above the clouds.

why does it always rain hard?

if it were only a drizzle, would i open my eyes?

i can see to change my path and actually get somewhere.

i'll take poor visibility over blindness.
