rain
it was gray and wet. gray skies filled with flashes of lightning followed by the clapping of thunder. all you see are the rain droplets ramming into things, leaving nothing untouched. a howl flows through the air, making all flora sway side to side.
there is something eerie about walking outside while its down-pouring, into an empty street. there was no presence of another soul in sight. with just my shorts on and my sandalias, i enter the stage. i then proceed to run around aimlessly getting soaked head to toe. my neighbors lawn is overflowing, a welcoming sight to my kid-at-heart self. i rise against gravity and stomp the **** out of that puddle. at the end of the driveway there is another lake. i jump in that one too. i run to the rain drain/gutter thing and stand under there, as if taking a shower. i look up and still no one is around. run back into the house.
liberating, really. my 3 minutes of freedom.
