Time seems to move slower when it rains 

Cars hesitate before they turn 

Bird wings lag as raindrops batter their feathers 

The world seems small and heavy 

Murky puddles are dumbbells on Earth's surface 

Green leaves sag under the weight of pelting beads 

Looming storm clouds shrink my small town 

It’s tiresome to merely stare out the window  

And watch the awkward jog of raincoats  

Dodge each other on the sidewalk
