Rain
(setting out in the leaf boat)

This dress that I made out of the curtains
was on the line, dancing around
better than I can.
Now we walk up to the top of the street.

Once letting go, rain sails us in a leafy boat
down the street.
And we’ll be there before we know.

There go the lawn chairs.
Some frogs are racing them,
to catch up with me.
Gray buildings go by,
violety sky lit up with trees in yellow.

Once letting go, rain sails us in a leafy boat
down the street.
And we’ll be there before we know.

Hey, is that you, going by, swimming by?
Hey, is that you, zig-zagging, whizzing by?
Sailing up, sailing by?

Once letting go, rain sails us in a leafy boat,
down the street.
And we’ll be there before we know.
