I Can't Help But Listen To The Rain When It's Raining

Tonight it is raining. It’s not unusual in my country. But tonight it was dark when I left school and I was looking out the window on the bus and I noticed under the street lights how you could see the rain. And it was falling almost horizontally. In great swathes. I think that’s the word. Like the snow at Christmas. And underneath each light it was like a triangle of lit up rain.
