have you come in from the rain yet?

it's hot again
and the sun is out like an angry god
(damn you, kneel, sit, beg!)
if the sun is a god, then the AC is jesus
and you cower in the circle of cooler air
but jesus has his price too-
and nobody wants to pay the $135 per month salvation bill.
but all this dosen't apply to me
cause my jesus has been dead all week.
...
so i sweat and I grasp
at the memories of paradise
of that storm last weekend
...
the ice shavings have long ago evaporated
leaving ghosts behind
the mineral deposits spot the kitchen floor
...
have I come in from the rain?
regretfully, yes.. for now, at least..
