Drop

You can watch it come down the street

at 4 o'clock on the dot.

It makes you want to read a book

curled up on a cot.

You wonder who is so unhappy

to make it want to fall.

Maybe you can stop their crying

with a simple phone call.

The stores are always crowded

whether they sell food or leather.

But I simply feel miserable

until whoever is crying feels better.

It often makes you tired

and you want to turn out the light.

Some are even superstitious

and they won't get on their flight.

But have no fear I've figured it out

no one is crying after all.

It's simply God watering his plants

so they can grow big and tall.
