4.

the rain has not stopped for days.

we wake up with it pouring

and we are locked inside.

the rain has taught us something

about hiding.

we wake up and we are cold.

we wake up and we are thirty

and we sings songs of drink.

we have pruned ourselves for winter,

cut back our useless limbs

and our deadened skin.

we shrink back in winter,

and sing songs of drink.

we wake up and are thirsty.

the rain has not stopped for days

we wake up and its pouring.

the rain has taught us something

about growing.

we wake up and we are green.
