through my light I hear the rain

Motto:

- i'll read you a Christmas poem
- Christmas poems make me puke
- it starts ...
- and they never end





through my light I hear the rain
(a rainy Christmass poem)



        where is all this water going?
        going home   going home
        soon will greet the family
        down around the corner
        down in the ocean

                Atlantic Atlantic
                Atlantic gigantic
                spinning the arctic
                and antarctic wheels

                Atlantic in the sky
                knows no 9 to 5
                Atlantic steel & grey
                will i see another May?

        i rode my bicycle about 4am
        teasing raindrops soaked my socks
        i got home wet -- it's all the same
        i got at home asleep

        the rain picked up the pace
        through my light i hear the heavy rain
        i get up at 3pm
        rain  rain  rain

                where is all this water going
                going home   going home
                angelic  \cars/
                now and then
                float
                on the fountain WINGS of rain

        going to slow dance in the wet depths

        the water rushes across the parking lot
        around the garbage containers
        and under the fence
        for a Christmas reunion
        around the Atlantic table

                Atlantic Atlantic
                Atlantic gigantic
                spinning the arctic
                and antarctic wheels ...
