the goodness of a rainy day
by Jessica Earley
i took a walk home in the rain
and with most things on the ground covered in wet,
a lot of things could be mistaken for a toad.
and when your hair gets wet you can remember the smell of your last shower.
and when the trees get wet they can remember the smell of their fruits.
a taxi cab sits waiting for a client
a garden sits waiting for attention
there are magnolias blooming in the air above my head
and the sun is always somewhere in the distance
