rain drops

by Gira Bryant

they're bound to fall
the other shoe
on my head
raining and pouring

into each life

yet -

it is always
the constant
drip drip
I mind most

the ones who think
they know better
than you
how to feel, how to cope
what to do
where you should be
what you should want
where you should get
what you deserve

No.

either it's my parade
or it's not and
if it isn't,
Conductor,
let me off this train

I meant to catch the other.

Author's Note: for the afternoon scribbles - "Into each life a little rain must fall." "Raindrops keep falling on my head." "It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring..." Any form of precipitation is my least favorite weather condition.

it's a big drop, stretching down and down until it falls and splashes. and i can see all the words as images in the rainbow reflection. nice scribble :)
