Rolling in the rain encroaches on the boundaries of the
neighborhood and the awnings of our homes. The snare drum picks up its cadence
as the drops per minute reaches a crescendo. Just as quickly as it came on the tempo
slows and the decibel level falls with the size of the descending drops. A steady pace settles in, saturates the ground and tests the
gutters for debris, a passing grade means water passes freely, flooding
indicates failure.
