A new day arrives; I'm waiting for the morning sun.
Rains pissing on me, God must be having fun.

On my customary visit

Bags of Leftovers
Things happen. Life unravels
The earth spins, perpetuating processes
And as we recount our travels
Our hearers marvel
Stories of prophets' heads on silver platters 
Representations of old things
