Riding In The Rain




I feel a childlike thrill
Riding in the car when it rains;
Cozy and dry in the backseat
While it’s so deliciously wet outside.

I am quiet in the rain
Content to watch passing neon lights
Illuminate the blurry gray backdrop
And listen to the swish
Of tires against pavement,
The soothing lullaby of the
Wipe  -- per
Wipe  -- per
Metronome rhythm
Battle  the percussive raindrops on glass

I almost hate to reach my destination.
