Rain Days Figured In

the line straight, turning the globe
dark and then darker colors passing by
the vivid stream, covering the sun from her
indecency

the day a dank, gray stare
through the glass left over from the last
hurricane

maybe I should go outside and
listen awhile

But, I am worried.  I'm goddamn sick
the rain is costing me 
money
