Drop In

Raindrops from my roof
Splash into my cup
filling it with new water
dropping in
splashing out
rolling down 
reclaimed aluminum shingles

Renew recycle repair reuse
the chant of the old Scottsman
and the children of the Depression
Baby boomers forgot for just a few years

the old adage of conservation.

Just a few deadly years.

We leave you the Earth

in the language of New-Speak

Where everything changes
and stays the same.

With this rain
I cleanse my spirit
and begin a new life
again.
