I Like Rain
Heaven must have seen
 something savory
 because the clouds can't stop
 they won't stop
 slobbering
 and I am getting wet
 but whatever heaven sees
 has not gone away
 because I am still wet
 and I'm getting wetter
 and wetter
 and wetter
 or maybe it isn't slobber
 maybe heaven has run
 run very far
 a marathon mayhaps
 and maybe the clouds
 are dripping
 with
 well-deserved
 sweat
 and heaven hasn't stopped running
 because I am still getting wet
 and wet
 and wet
 what if heaven took a tumble
 down to earth
 (is that even possible)
 and gravel clung
 unremittingly
 to heaven's knees
 and now the clouds are bleeding
 bleeding
 transparent blood
 (I hope heaven is okay)
 but the blood-clotting mechanisms
 of heaven's knees
 must not be working
 because I am here
 and I am getting wet
 and still wetter
 and wetter
 but that's okay
 because
 I
 like
 rain.
