April 2, Day Two
April Showers
Rain pounded down for days
and weeks, water ran in our street like a wild river.
Palms waved their fronds in exaltation,
Sweet allysum bounded over rock walls. African daisies
proliferated into a deep green/burnt orange blanket,
I walk into the abundance
horrified by their terrible mistake.
A summer of dry, blue skies is coming
and most of those newly emerged will die.
I can't help them,
California water will still be rationed.

Though it may be a phenom which proliferates.
