the rain will eventually stop

i lost

track of time, of days.

the constant

rain

kept me home

for weeks.

i grew a long

white beard,

i ran out of books to read,

and then the sun came out.

i got in my rowboat

with my dog,

my cat,

my parakeet and mouse,

and started rowing

towards the  7-11.

i could see it's saving light

in the distance,

things

will be fine.
