Grey Skies making me blue.

Sitting alone. Typing patiently.  
Words collide. Thoughts collude.

Standing up. Stretching hastily.  
Turning now. Joints popping.

Walking slow. Towards the hall.  
I hear a patter. The window calls.

Looking now. Grey sky looms.  
Buildings melting. Slugs slithering.

Rain falls. Buildings melt.  
Slugs slither. I’m falling down.

Too many slugs. And that acid rain must be fierce if it can melt buildings… 😉

yeah that’s what the NW in the US is like though, every time it rains the damn slugs come out.
