The rain is drip
drip
dripping today.
That’s all I’ve got, to be honest.
Sometimes the rain just
drip
drip
drips
and it doesn’t mean the day is over.
It doesn’t mean that God wants me drowned
or that you two are melting
or the birds have exploded
or the ghosts are crying.
The rain is just
drip
drip
dripping
on the outside today.
