seattle rain

seattle rain [for laramie]

it rained again this weekend in seattle

and no one took it personally

raindrops falling

falling wet

like spectacles on your window

you look outside

you smell the earth

the heavy odor of childhood

memories

dancing liberated in the rain

reign

what people do in seattle when it's raining is

what people do in other places when it isn't raining

what are you doing

while rain is falling

falling

staring at the ocean

waves

foam

trapped on your little island

bainbridge

(1998)
