Rain
September 24, 2021
Can I look both ways
From which direction is the
Technical gravity I stand between
Holding it in my hands
Feeling it in my head
The weight of knowing nothing
Can I look both ways
Before entering into someone’s dream
Before crossing into someone’s mind
When I read a story out of order
Can I perceive it the same?
Can I look both ways
Closing my eyes and grasping
For the next high or low
For the next day of realization
Attempting to satisfy the mind
To stop the rain from falling
Can I look both ways
Before leading into a new form
Before leaving everything I have seen
Before admitting my assumptions
Have been chosen safe and ordinary
Where the opposite is my completion
Can I make it pause
The constant flow of rain
And analyze the intricate drops
And what they all mean
Where they are going
And how long it takes for them to drop
Before I realize it’s too late
And rain doesn’t exist anymore
