keep it all in and dream it all

sometimes you're listening to "dry the rain" by the beta band and when they get to the point near the end where they're saying "take me in and dry the rain" at that precise moment the clouds open up and begin lashing the windows. dark clouds, too tired to carry their loads any longer, spill them over onto the earth.

you smile at the coincidence; for that brief moment you're a kid again, controlling the flight of faraway planes by pushing your finger behind them. you think of testing your new powers by putting on "here comes the sun" just to see. but you reconsider. best to keep that locked up for when you really need it.
