A little Gray Building

46

The sky grumbles like a big hungry belly

Roars like an angry lion

And then the sky flashes brighter than a camera

And my eyes are filled as if with an ocean of light

Wow! Oh, wow—how very bright

And what is this falling on me now?

It’s like a teenie tiny pond dropped onto my forehead

Then another and another and another and another

Like a great big shower was turned on in the clouds

Or like the grumbly, hungry lion in the sky just sneezed

And when he did, his teeth shined brighter than the sun

Glimmering in the little lakes falling from above
