rain song

i drove into the rain this morning.
headed straight for the gathering grey above griffith park.
i was rounding the bend of the zoo when the wet hit my windshield.
first in stuttered splatters.
pitter patter.
pitter patter.
then past the links of green, great golf ball drops plopped on the hood.
an assault from the skies.
aggressive snare drum strikes.
splash and shatter.
splash and shatter.
and through my speakers lyrics echoed louder:
"the rain drops and the rain drops and the rain drops..."

i love those little moments when nature plays in concert with random music selections.
the rain started coming down hard when the rain lyrics from radiohead's "sit down, stand up" came on. it was brilliant. and i swear the drops matched beat for beat as the music got more crazed and frantic.
