Rainy Days

Dust bunnies on the bottom of the pool swaying with the turquoise current
I watch underwater
I am swimming in the neighborhood fish tank
I walk miles in the dark with my black dog to see twinkling lights
Men are scribbling poetry on prescription pads
In the high school cafeteria nobody asks for cauliflower
The white brain under a red lamp
Kids duck under school desks for an air raid drill
Back when we turned on the lights on rainy days
