Rain

The logic of rain
Is that when it comes it makes
And always makes the road wet.

Can the rain be illogical at any time?
Can the road also conspire? So that

When it rains the road would have its way
Of not getting wet, and you are somehow
Confused
And reason out that this cannot be true
And that logic
Will always be faithful to you.

Beware. The time comes when the road
Deceives you. It deceived you once, and I can
Deceive you some more
You always walked on it
With a raincoat
When the rain came
The road hid
In the flood of your asphyxiated mind.
