Rain In Arizona


The weatherman said a hundred percent

was the probability of rain today.

The sun was shining when I got up

and I went for a long hot bike ride.


Late in the day there were heavy showers.

How could I possibly have doubted?

I, the son of a weatherman, 

had decided it wasn’t going to rain.


I sat on the porch till it got too wet,

then sat by the window and stared.

Forgive me, and God bless everything.

God bless everything, even me.
