he was in school
on a rainy September day
in Science
he was sitting at his desk
by the window
staring out at the rain
watching people hurry by
on their
so important business
missing the clouds' tears
and he saw a girl
with wispy blonde hair
and hazelnut eyes
standing on the sidewalk
ignoring the people by her
hustling about [on important business]
she stared at the sky
closed her eyes
and felt the clouds' tears
like she cried with them
he wondered why more people didn't cry with the clouds
like her
