i opened my eyes

and looked up at the rain,

and it dripped in my head

and flowed into my brain,

and all that i hear as i lie in my bed

is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

i step very softly,

i walk very slow,

i can’t do a handstand—

i might overflow,

so pardon the wild crazy thing i just said—

i’m just not the same since there’s rain in my head.
