Oh cold and unexpected rain! Coming down in splits and splats, and finally sheets and shards. Stinging explosions on my skin, clinging shirt and shorts, sodden and heavy. Running shoes squish and squash, leaden with determination, homebound now. Oh fickle and short-lived rain! I finish my run, and you decide it's time to finish as well. Warming sun on my stretches, cooling breeze on my now-naked feet. Grass so sweet, flowers so fresh, concrete so clean, and my heart is renewed and hopeful. Did you wash away my sadness along with my sweat and my tears? Thank you, sweet rain. Thank you.

How now, brown cow what do you intend to do for me now? Hip, flip, jump the fence don't go to any trouble at my expense Not too lean, not too fatty hope they don't make you into a burger patty Just give them milk and act sublime and you will live a long, long time

In my stream of life you are the candy wrapper that some asshole littered somewhere miles upstream. Floating gently along turning ever so slowly and bounding above the rocks and around the bend spoiling the view. Oh sweet river, oh wonderful delta rushing you away and out to sea.
