What if every drop
of rain needs the patch
of sidewalk
where it lands? Every sky
needs cumulous to fill it? I need
the umbrella
that needs the raindrops
to shape the wet arch
overhead. We are all
here because I put
us here. I need
here and us
and this poem
to put things in.
What does the poem need? Or
do you
need the poem? The umbrella
knows you need the poems.
