In The Brain.... Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

Pleasant to walk in the rains
During Monsoon
Esp in Marine Drive. Without any umbrella - ugh!
Who would carry that contraption -
Or any other ‘protection’ against the rain?
If you dont mind getting soaked
In sweat, grime and dirt
After a run or workout,
Why not in the distilled waters down from Heaven?

As I walk Southwards, homebound
Back from Princess Flyover -
Princess Diana has died last week, poor Thing!
What a lot of flowers and love
In front of Buckingham Palace -
I see on the right a long valley
In which I see crows flying,
No, they are pigeons,
As I verify by looking up!
You guessed it;
It is stagnant rainwater, one foot wide and many feet long
Reflecting the sky with white grey and black cloud patches
With deep blue sky peeping out at places.

So pleasant,
The light drizzle
As the Gods pour
Their blessings on mankind
But modern life is so horrible and hectic:
I wish it rains inside my Head!
