Raindrops

I find raindrops funny:

They race from the sky,

Provoked by the battle cries of thunder,

Flashes of lightning as their banner,

Only to be denied by weathered concrete


Their sorry corpses washed away,

Down the putrid sewer,

Until they turn back into vapor,

Until the cycle is complete


I find them funny because

They remind me of how I loved you

How you denied me

How I keep coming back

Lather, rinse, repeat
