Rainy Days

This rain;

the days I used to look forward to the most,

when there wouldn't be a sun shining,

just a solid sky with falling water.

These days I used to relish,

and everyone deemed me crazy;

Blacksburg is making me hate them.

Portland

In 10 years

I see myself sitting on a collapsible chair,

strumming this same Ibanez

with an English Setter by my feet

in a small apartment

in downtown Portland.
