on a cold, wet day

jeans glued to me
soaking wet shoes
socks sopping with rain
oh warm brown rice, rich beans
how you welcome me, how you wait for me
hot shower steams my legs
while you, oh beans, rice and soup
steam my growling appetite

a day of coaxing language
a day of translating algebra
a walk through torrential rains
the puddles, oh rice, oh
the wet lakes of distant provinces
my path a national geographic, oh beans
the trucks that would push me into the niagara falls of despair
those walls of wet, oh soup
yet, yea, as i walk through the storm
the gray outpour, i think of you
you keep me strong
true to my course
oh beans, rice and soup
as long as you feature in my future
i shall walk the toils and atrocities of weather
may this ode entice you to appear this day
