poem of the day 08.07.12


torrents

eating tacos
i watch the rain fall
in torrents

and the people screaming
and shouting
outside in the burst

it occurs to me
that it never rains
normally
anymore

the sky just opens up
and we all take a pounding
as shit from the sewers
bubbles over
and swirls toward the river

until the clouds part
and the sun comes back

to scorch
this tortured
crawling
earth.
