Rain

Halloween party
And it rains 
We feel the first drops -
Unbelieving 

It's been so long 
Since water has fallen from 
The sky 
Reservoirs are 
Half down 

What will life be like 
With less water -
Already lawns 
Are left to brown -

Maybe life in south 
California 
Would become 
Not so much like 
Hollywood would 
     Have us
     Believe 
But more like
It actually is -

More like 
The Padres and 
     The Indians
Perceived -
More like 
Dust and 
Sky -
Hawks
And seagulls
Circling
