Tonite, I write:
Love
is like
a flower
it's beautiful and clean
Love
is like
rain
heard but never seen
Life
is like
a cage match
it's going to hurt in the morning
Life
is like
road signs
Always the "danger! warning!"
XXXXXX
I hear that rain, pounding on the roof like a machine gun shooting a drumset. My fingers reek of cheap cheesy bread and greasy wings, my eyes red from pollen, my feet swollen from the morning's run. I roll into bed, throw the covers over my aching bones and turn out the light, reaching out to silence the lamp's loud rays. good night.
-------
Life isn't fair, so get used to it.

Dear Pillow:
Many nights have passed
without you, alas:
my efforts of sleep have been fruitless
I have nightmares of whales and chocolate desks
Awakedness never leaves me
Sleep never receives me
O, But now! I found you upon my bead.
A big featherful rock to rest my head
Never again shall I go sleepless
Dear Pillow, God Bless.

Your bit about rain makes me think of the song Machine Gun by Portishead.
