A rainy day

A rainy day

When it rains the world just feels so strange
And thoughts go leaking onto the floor, under the door,
Floating

When it rains the world just seems to change
And people rush around in a muddle, dodging the puddles,
Soaking

The shop windows are yawning
It’s just another morning
And traffic lights keep winking
I wonder what they’re thinking
It’s just a rainy day

When it rains the world gets rearranged
And foggy footsteps come down the hall, walk on the walls
Seeping

When it rains normal gets deranged
The clouds roll in and mist up the mirrors
Constricting the pillars
Choking

The stained glass windowed steeple
Is always watching people
The paper on the table
Is telling me it’s fables
It’s just a rainy day
