Rainfall is the Earth's shower.
Thunderclouds splatter down droplets that soak into the grimy skin.
It runs in hot and cold, raising steam or freezing in puddles.
The pipes clatter in the sky.
Water washes the day's loose dirt away.
It slides across the smooth manmade surface of the road and quickly drips down the drain.
The faucet is shut off, and it is safe to venture outside.
A fresh, sweet scent hangs in the air.
The storm has passed, leaving only relief.
