Rain that pelts down on the concrete outside
Entices me, but not enough.
Nothing is ever enough to push me hard,
Harder than I push myself
To walk out an open door
And let my clothes hang with water
On my irritable skin.
I'd get rained on if it meant change.
I'd get rained on if it meant you'd be inside waiting.
I'd get rained on if it meant I could get a do-over.
But the rain outside moves from backyard to backyard,
And soon enough it will be at your lawn,
Begging you to come out,
Clothes and all.

E.
