Rain In Arizona

The weatherman said a hundred percent

was the probability of rain today.

The sun was shining when I got up.

I went for a long, hot bike ride, vexed.

Late in the day there were heavy showers.

How could I possibly have doubted?

I, the son of a weatherman.

I sat on the porch till it got too wet,

then sat by the window and stared.

Forgive me, I thought,

and God bless everything.

God bless everything, even me.
