No Rain in Sight


incongruity leaves us speechless
uncertainty leaves us powerless
forbidden is what we were meant to be
and life is always unexpectedly ending,
a cruel joke perpetuated upon us
from the very beginning and we
like everyone else believes in it...
we mourn its conclusions while feeding
on all of its possibilities like fools
dancing in the rain on some broadway
show we were told about when young,
drifters bring their handguns as if
this were the wild west - law and
order is kicked out of court after
being changed with contempt...
nature holds the key to our survival
but has no desire to share since we
are not good stewards of her land,
laughter lives inside us all, buried
deep inside our subconsciousness,
and no one has a fishing pool and
line long enough to retrieve it now.
