Waiting for the rain

Was that thunder I hear? Or just
A car rolling past, pulling
Into the driveway to make
A U-turn

So much noise that means nothing
Just humidity and heat
The plants wither on the porch
As we wish for a storm

Fourteen weeks without a rainout
In softball. It was a joke that you could tell
The weather the day of a game--it always
Rained on Thursdays.

I wish we could make that joke this year.
