Rain

The rain came dripping downward Soaking me little by little Wet seeped in and the skin chilled goosebumps formed upon my arms The hair resembled a drowned animal wet, tangled a tumbling mane Clothes hung like a second skin The shoes wet and sloppy squeaking as you took each step The rain came dripping downward Time to get out of the rain. 9/16/12
