   Then will it rain?


   Wanting to talk with you
   I went to your official residence
   and many people met me
   (staff, relatives, followers, tourists).
   All of them spoke of you
   but none could introduce us
   because you weren't there. They said
   you're not there very often.

   Well... maybe you're out walking somewhere
   and if I walk enough I'll meet you
   on the road. Maybe if you walk
   and I walk
   until we're both tired and thirsty
   we'll meet each other
   at the well. the water-fountain. the bar.
   The river.

   Then will it rain? And will we stroll together
   with our tongues out,
   catching the cool droplets and laughing?
