thank you, nowhere

[ august showers ]

i remember last summer
listening to the rain
watching thunderstorms
in the sunroom

but now, it never rains here
clouds roll in, threatening
a drop here and there
it's pathetic

in the parking lot, she said
"i love august showers"
i'd love them too, but...
huh? what showers?

"i see lightning," he said
i strain my eyes to see
but, of course, it's gone
yeah...i'm jealous.
