Rain dance

I want to jump

(she's standing on the other side of the window, staring)

I'm going to jump

says she:

"I thought you were angry"

That's why, just that's why I'm going to jump

(she stares, tilting the head to one side, like a starving dog waiting to be fed.)

"I don't understand"

(she never does)

I don't care. Whatsmore, I'm going to jump, and I'm going to run. And scream.
And wallow, 'till you understand. And if you don't, I don't care anyway.

(she ain't moving.)

"But its raining"

it's pouring

I don't care!

(all of a sudden I realize I really don't care, and my voice becomes a funny mixture of words and laughter. All of a sudden, I'm running around, and jumping around. All of a sudden I'm dancing in the rain.)

says she:

"I thought you were angry"

(all of a sudden, she's standing in front of me)

Not anymore.. I don't care anymore.
"...I don't understand"

Whoever does?

Take my hand now; we shall dance
till the nightshades come to haunt us
