Rain in February

The cool gusts strike me
And my furrowed brow softens,
Folded skin straightening.
The pressure in my temple,
A babies incessant crying,
Continues unaffected.
A single drop, first born,
Splatters on the pavement.
Brick buildings stand tall and
Ominous like European castles
Right here in Columbus.
Everything seems so vivid:
The hairline fractures in the concrete,
The veins of the leaves
Flapping in the wind,
The facial blemishes
Of the girl in my philosophy
Class as she scurries by.
And suddenly it is pouring.
Lines of water connect
The earth and sky
Splitting the world into columns.
Droplets barrage my head
And the screaming infant drowns.
I smile.
Charlie walks by
With his gelled hair
And absence of umbrella.
He grunts:
“What is this,
Monsoon season?”

Ya know Charlie,
I sure hope so.
