The Great Rinse

Rain falls in a tumult and I remember my favorite rain, the dead summer kind I watched from my childhood wraparound porch. If the wind blew, I backed up as far as I could to stay dry. If it was a still rain, I sat on the steps. It was like a great rinse of the world I knew, the shiny black streets under light posts. And I felt cleaner, too.
