i decided to do something different
and went for a walk in the rain
and looked for signs in puddles
the mystery of life to explain
i met a cat with a serious face
and a dog that was wagging its tail
they passed me by with a look in their eye
that said wisdom was not for sale
i passed a bag lady drinking a fanta
with the daily news spread on her head
a taxi splashed me with muddy water
i wished i was home in bed
i entered a store of convenience
a lottery ticket to buy
the drawing was not until tuesday
i returned to the street with a sigh
i saw a man in a doorway
and thought i knew his name
but i passed him by without asking
he might know my secret shame
i wish it would rain forever
and nothing ever get dry
i would meet myself at the river
and look myself in the eye
