a fourteen-line poem on what to do in blinding rain

1. walk out of Costco with a full cart

2. no raincoat

3. drive home from Burlington

4. do a mental-walk through the house

5. to find the open window

6. be happy your car is getting washed

7. wish you’d mulched all the gardens

8. wonder where squirrels shelter

9. what frogs are doing

10. think about leaves falling

11. before they have a chance to turn

12. wonder when you’ll get a break

13. to unload the car

14. pretend you’re a plant getting sloshed
