April Showers… 3/21/03
It’s raining today:
A wet west side welcome
wrings me in its raining arms
Appearing from the gray
and embracing me warmly,
or coldly, I should say,
but not mattering much to me
for my plans when weather improves:
To lie on my back
in the softness of grass
being baked by the sun
’til I’m almost as black
as the core of my reading eyes,
enjoying the stretch
of a well-written book.
Ah, I can hope, and wait.
I have nothing but time
for the next week and 3 days.
So expect some more fun
sent to you from your bro
during the thrill that is known
as Spring Break.
-Matthew Harri
