Rain falls

Rain falls

and

The whole earth cries.

I don't know if it cries in pain
Or of loss.

While crying,
It rarely matters.


I fall
and
No one cries.
Way beyond the skinned knees
And scraped up, gravel-embedded palms of my youth.

When I fall now,
Shit happens.
Or, sometimes, shit doesn't happen
And THAT makes shit happen.

When did I park my monkey bike
And trade cards in spokes
For iron and steel,
Roaring fucking hot metal?
