I was thinking (2)
I was thinking I’d go for a walk
Down to the libraryTo return a bookWith a title I can’t rememberAnd that I never opened
Then stop by the post officeAnd pick up my mail
Check the creek for salmon It’s time for their run homeThrashing through rocks and current To a soon and certain death
But I looked out the windowAnd saw the bucket Filled with waterFrom last week’s showers
Raindrops began to bounceFrom the surfaceFulfilling the forecastsI’d hoped were not true
