Wet

When it rains in Croatia, it really rains.
Like go gather some trees and build a friggin' ark rains.
Like I'm walking to the grocery store and I see more than 3 separate arks being built and one of them even has a pair of giraffes in their yard rains.

Like get my measly rations for dinner measuring late into the night before the ominous stormclouds burst forth like a woman scorned rains.

Clutch my yellow plastic bag crying on my shoulder in one hand while my $2.56 umbrella craps itself in the face of 10,000 angry raindrop berserkermen with nothing to loose but altitude rains.

Knees-down drenched with your back cold and wet with that squish in your shoes even though you prepared for the rains rains.

Huddle behind your umbrella trying to huddle behind you realizing resistance is futile against the airborne flood rains.

Hang up your wet clothes in the shower after running through the rains rains.

Your droopy flopped socks soaked smiling like they know something you don't about the downpour rains.

Sit back victorious see the full cargo pocket next to where your cold knee just was
My wallet!
rains.

Roll my head back watch the water falling to the sky laughing panting
laughing with the
rains
rains
rains.
