The Dirt Rain

The rain smelled stale,
And everything soaked
And dirty afterwards
Was no surprise to me.

I just miss the refresh
That used to come with.
But, I suppose, that’s done,
At least, now, for this storm.

This dirt rain has smeared
And splashed and splattered
Mud along the sidewalk,
And that sums the storm up.

It was all dry before,
But at least clean then.
