I was thinking


I was thinking
I’d go for a walk today

Down to the library
To return a book
With a title I don’t remember
And that I haven’t yet opened

Then stop by the post office
And check for mail

Swing by the creek
To see if salmon are running
Thrashing their way home
To soon and certain death

But I looked out the window
And saw the bucket
Filled with water
From earlier showers

Raindrops began to splash
On the surface
Fulfilling the forecasts
I’d hoped were not true
