On Rain and the Nature of Integration
by Keenan Rebera

Runestone, volume 4

Physicists and Mathematicians continued to debate
whether it is better to walk or to run in the rain

Tell me.
Which is better?

I, the kissed.
Closed-eye, pinned-hand.
Every droplet walks across my belly.
Windswept to our hair, we lie,
Prone to drown in undertow.

I, the kisser.
Bare-toothed, hitched breath,
Every droplet shudders off my shoulders.
Pressing on her hips, we lie.
Pool the cold cement below.

I spend the night alone. (active)
The night is spent alone by me. (passive)

My bed is cold.
