i_can_hear_rain
sab occasionally dropping into the insulation in the ceiling


the rain pours down on the tin roof
and i lay for hours this morning watching the light arrive through the drops

i can hear rain
collecting in the buckets and pans in our kitchen

i can hear rain splashing in the puddles on the lino floor

i can hear rain pounding on the windows

and i can ossaionlly hear
a sing thud
of a drop falling
into the insulation above my head.


the rain kept me company this morning
from 3am
and it keeps me company still



i wonder if you can hear rain
from room 11d

i wonder if i did refer_to_page_63_of_your_manual
if i would find a photo
of a door
leading to room 11d


im going it alone this time.
i'm taking jsut me
we'll see how brave i am
in room 11d


i wonder if it rhymes
if that makes this whole thing better
more clever
or jsut more easy to survive.
