It would later rain that day

If it rains today,
and only today,
I will be the happiest boy, man, son, child.
Let the waterflow fall from the overpacked nimbus
And let it come over me like a true love, or a subtle look.
Let the peace overtake me,
And strangle me!
And hold me tight,
And capture me!
I want you, I want this.
I don’t want to be the man who crosses the street before the light turns green.
It would later rain that day, to the amazement of others,
And I realized that we take it for granted when others stop at red lights.
