All the news I need

Ninety percent chance of precipitation
while the rain begins to fall
and I'd like very much
in that moment
to be a meteorologist
who encourages people to tune in
to the sky
at six
and ten
and six again
and remind them
that when it looks like rain
it probably is
and that isn't such a bad thing
if you learn to forget your umbrella
and enjoy that illicit feeling
of arriving a mess
in puddle shoes
that squelch with each step
and gradually reduce the sanity
of those who would remain sane
remain removed
from the world around them
that cries
such wonderful tears
that spawn prismatic smiles
you could never find
on the weather report
