waterproof

rain does not define you — or create you.

you are not made from dew, you are not born from clouds.

do the things that the rain waters run from shelter to shelter, frantic for a way to stay dry?

are the day-lilies suddenly smocked in neoprene?

not even the biggest umbrella can undo the work of the rain.

as for us, we get a small warning, sometimes.

grey clouds.

an ache in our knee.

the plummeting of pressure.
