I used to be afraid of rain sticks.
Just bumping them seemed to cause a storm.
Now the creeks are dry and I heard
it said no more sierra snow by
end of century.
Who really knows about that?
I always figured I would move north
as the north would become more and more
like the south over time.
I like this time now though, even with
the drought of water and money.
The basics are more of concern than luxuries.
Even so, what we consider basics are luxury to many.
But now, more rain would be good.
A nice cold rain for a long time.
We’ve been turning our rain sticks
and hoping for more rain.
