rain day

some days you need
to be alone.
you need the rain,
you need a reason
to stay in,
stay under cover,
stay home.
you unplug everything.
you get the books
out, the magazines
you've lagged
behind in reading.
you get out
the dog eared
books of poetry,
knowing that you can
best most,
but not all.
there are kings
and queens you'll
bow to, never
approaching
their grandeur,
wisdom
and panache. some
days you need to be
alone and get busy
with what you do
best.
