why’s the rain soaking my head and not some other guy’s? isn’t the Red book missing something? bearing the sound of rain but without a drop of dampness my mouth bitterly sucks at the parched night i rant “this rain business stinks to shit” and so it rains and rains naturally still on my head “long rain is a forever ignorance” and with the nerve to keep raining? “ou (long rain ignorance) ch (forever)” my head rains a dopey dumb rain the case of the rain passes through no judge rain keeps being rain as its life-sentence i’m beside a guy condemned for not beholding the rain who knows why i rant at him by beholding he rants at me with rain -- translated by Kaitlin Rees
