Rain on the window
Missing every beat
One drop
Then two
Then five
None of them
Agree
The kettle starts
Somewhere behind me
Quiet at first
Then sure of itself
Steam reaches
The lower glass
The corner of the city
Disappears
Two drops meet
Halfway down
One gets there first
The other changes direction
I watch it
Choose the longer way
Rain here
Sun over there
Same morning
Different windows
Rain here
Light over there
For now
That's how it is
I clear one corner
With the side of my hand
Just enough
The city fits inside it
Three rooftops
One antenna
A white building
Holding sunlight
For no particular reason
The kettle clicks
Exactly when
Two drops meet
Good timing
Piano
Rain
A little steam
The window
Clouds again
I leave it
A car moves slowly
Through the wet street
Water opens
Behind the tires
Then joins itself again
Across the roofs
Somebody else
Has better weather
For now
Rain here
Sun over there
Both belong
To the morning
Rain here
Light over there
Neither one
Needs fixing
A drop
Near the top
Waits longer
Than the others
I forget about it
Then notice
It's gone
The kettle has gone quiet
The glass has cleared in patches
The bright building
Is still there
A little less bright
A little more sky
Rain here
Light over there
The room
Somewhere between
Rain here
Light over there
Enough
To look at
One drop
Another
Almost together
Not quite
