Analysis of Rain



We fell like the rain
Pitter-Patter
Indifferent to where we fell
Ignoring the upturned heads and outreached hands
We fell with no thought of landing
Only doing what we do
Splat
A second of solid ground
Never felt that before
All together now
Together was the best
After the lonely fall
