The climate was introducing itself to me
careless downpour seemed to laugh
It found my face under the hood
covered it with its silly wetness
The cottons and denim my body was cloaked in
quickly gained weight
filling up with the nutritional liquid
forcing itself down in abundance
I only had a few more minutes walk
before I reached the house
I began speaking to the skies
pleading with them
But as I begged for relief,
the shower only amplified
rain-sized stones pelting my audacity
I started to smile, then to chuckle
until finally I burst out laughing at myself
I could feel the rain's victory
and my surrender
opening up the door
to our long, wet friendship
