Rain
Wednesday a.m.'s second leg of my journey, From St. Louis to Greencastle, Indiana, was all rainstorm, A formidable deluge that rendered travel hazardous,
A series of epic challenges made more stressful By my passing lumbering tractor-trailers Blasting vast cascades of spray, from their eighteen wheels,
Like cobras spitting venom, blinding my straining eyes, Paralyzing my will to move ahead, Threatening to strand me in a saturated, unplanted field.
By the time I arrived, 235 miles later, My body was weary, my mind groggy, my spirit crotchety, But I was alive, in a land of farms peat-bog soggy,
Though uncertain why I'd ventured away, strayed so far, From wherever it was I'd never intended to leave, Wondering if, indeed, I might not be the rain.
