The Piano Is Raining
the
piano
is raining
i say it is
and you believe me
metaphor deceiving
what's it for, a metaphor?
the piano is still raining

sounds with notes
not notes with sounds
the thunder crash
the water splash
i hear and see
the evocation
of the hammers
spirit vibrations
in the strings

do you hear?
do you see?
thunder showers?
in the "key" of C?
white heresy?

surrender limbs
surrender thought
to render, sir
chaos fraught with
ok, loss for
what i'd do without
ego control

raining
pouring
snoring
went, bumped
wouldn't get
wet

memory and thoughts
polluted by the past
won't you come
washed away by rain?
brain-washed
by what you watched
and what you heard
can be unherded
unheeded and unlearned

the piano is still raining
what's it for, a metaphor?
metaphor deceiving
and you believe me
i say it is
is raining
