The falling rain
sounds like a
huge crackling campfire
and the dog is
under the bed pretending
to be the cat.
Everyone on TV
is dancing a weird tango
(especially the politicians)
and the radio refuses
to be coherent.
A Brahms sonata
is waffling up from
the garbage disposal
and the thunder is
plummeting through the
Oregon wilderness,
screeching like Big Foot
with a shovel jammed
up his anus.
