Rain

Late afternoon on into early evening, we watch massive, water-dense clouds roll and roil overhead. A matter of minutes will turn this from a dreary day's waning into an evening amalgamation of oversize droplets pattering, massive street puddles forming, children remembering they have galoshes somewhere in the recesses of their closets, and us, standing under the gathering torrents, our clothes absorbing so much water that we begin to shiver despite the warmth of the evening.
