Rain

We used to play in the rain when we were kids.

We didn't think about whether we would get sick.

We were kids, we couldn't know.

We used to run under the rain when we were kids.

We didn't think about whether we would fall.

We wouldn't know if we would get hurt or not.

We used to talk under the rain when we were kids.

We didn't think about the future, whether it would be bad.

We were little, we couldn't guess...

We are looking at the rain.

We remember the past.

The illnesses, the wounds, the conversations.

It's all just a memory now

We listen to the rain.

The sound and smell that come with every contact with the soil.

It reminds me of time.

It brings to life the days we don't think about....

Under the rain.

Now we understand the future.

Now we know how to think.

Now we know...the facts of life.

Children across the street. They are playing under the rain.
