STATUE IN THE RAIN <br /> <br />I stand <br />like a statue in the rain. <br /> <br />The house <br />looks dumbly at me. <br /> <br />Its two windows <br />& its door <br /> <br />like a giant <br />human face <br /> <br />staring stupidly <br />at me. <br /> <br />I gaze <br />blankly back. <br /> <br />Suddenly the light <br />has gone from its eyes <br /> <br />you emerge <br />all dressed in red <br /> <br />as if the door <br />had stuck its tongue out. <br /> <br />A stranger <br />(to me) <br /> <br />but obviously <br />(not to you) <br /> <br />appears & kisses you. <br /> <br />You kiss him <br />passionately back. <br /> <br />You told me <br />you were seeing your Mum. <br /> <br />He looks <br />nothing like your Mum. <br /> <br />I stand <br />like a statue in the rain.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/statue-in-the-rain/
