Rainy Day Songs

Raining day songs
sing smiles in the darkness
and wrap you up tightly
in their melodic arms.
Those clouds,
they follow me
like precipitating shadows
(what a dreary honor to bestow),
but I set my turntable to 33
and watch the wax spin around
as the gloom is absorbed
in the dizziness,
in the scratch of your throat.
I stepped in a puddle today
and all I heard it say
is "I need a raincoat."

This is a decoy.

Also, I just realized that The Jayhawks have a record called "Rainy Day Music." So, that's cool.
