Rain: A Sonnet

---

……………………………………………Confusing the issue, the rain dampened
……………………………………………everything within view. The open door
……………………………………………invited it in, the bikes strewn through the
……………………………………………yard, the scattered cans, the wet detritus

……………………………………………all beckoned the water with openness.
……………………………………………Slickened concrete was crowded with hoardings
……………………………………………inviting rats, raccoons, mice, and roaches
……………………………………………to devour this apocalyptical feast.

……………………………………………Above, in the old theater window,
……………………………………………the writing class stood and watched the drama.
