It ain't raining
It ain't pouring
But the Old Man is snoring
And his Old Lady is sleeping on the couch

Where she's deploring
The morning
Her right and left brain warring
On the train beneath her shoulders
Her head will slouch

She's dogged eared, dog tired,
The dog days just wired
Said, "lookin' like she'll be a year long drought."

And the blacktop is boiling
the eggs in the fridge are spoiling
'Cuz up and down the block the power is out.

100 pounds soakin' wet
She sweat through her nice work dress
She bought a week long pass
with hardly any patience left

In the subway
on the tracks, trapped
hot wind breathed a breath that gasped
Her eyes looked through the platform mirage
and up the staircase cleft

Her dry mouth hummed a song and it went...
