SAN DIEGO RAIN

There's never much rain here

so we're grateful

for the stuff we get.  

The clouds collect

in the sky, gray and angry, 

as if startled or annoyed by

their own presence.  

There's nothing wrong

with seventy seven degrees

nine-tenths of the year.  

But watching the unexpected

deluge peppering our streets,

our cars, and the roofs 

of our homes, it looks To be

some kind of beacon,

a strange signal, a portent, 

not wholly ominous, 

that the world is no longer 

what we think.
