cloud escort

cloud escort
raining on me with every step
large sparse droplets
wetting my hair and darkening my jeans
what does this all mean?
there's no double rainbows
or yellow umbrellas
just grey skies
a boy
and a song is his heart

This cloud totally followed me as I walked to church last night.  I like walking in the rain BUT only walking home in the rain.  Walking to somewhere in the rain just means you get to be wet when everyone else is probably dry because they took their dinosaur-powered boxes... haha.

I wanted to write about rain because I wanted to share two thoughts I had about rain as it has been raining here quite a bit lately.  I would bet that more umbrellas are thrown away when it's raining then when it's sunny.  That's quite contrary to what I know about supply and demand but I guess umbrellas only break when it's raining.  My second thought is that whenever it rains, I always wish I'd spent more money on my umbrella.  With even a slight breeze, I feel my umbrella doubt its desire to remain umbrella shaped.  Where does one buy a confident umbrella?  Peace out.
