We wait for rain June 22, 1982

 

We wait for rain,

For wet concrete’s

Sting, raising pain,

For cause and heat,

And worry in vain

You and silent me,

In LA’s glorious fame,

Stars at our feet

Still strung with strange

Voices and foreign names

You and sometimes me,

Hurting and lame,

A part of a fleet

Of frustrated shame

We stink and complain

Dry sand’s sheet

Shimmering with change

You and distant me,

We wait for rain.
