Waterlogging My Converse

Another rainy Tuesday Wish I could stay in bed

But so many classes call my name

For me to do instead

I bike to my 9:30

And try not to fall asleep

I go back to my dorm to work

The homework's piled in heaps

In the afternoon, the rain is pounding

So for class I ditch my bike

And grab my umbrella and a coat

And prepare to make the hike

I walk down the Chicago streets

Watch the rain hit the sidewalk

I pass by cars speeding down the rode

And people as they talk

The rain gets my shoes wet

At least they were dirty anyway

I bought them a couple months ago

And wear them nearly everyday

I glance at a puddle

And know that I should not

But it feels like it's calling out to me,

That little water-spot

A tiny jump and with a splash,

In the water my shoes immerse

Just another rainy Tuesday

And waterlogging my Converse.
