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.
