I like the way the rain falls in the city ––– all of the sudden. First you hear the rain beating against the tin and glass and steel. It always sounds like the rain is falling faster than it is. Sometimes, sure, there’s heavy rain of course. But more often, it’s just all of the structures between the sky and the ground that the rain beats against. Every downpour becomes torrential. This morning it rained for ten minutes straight. Silence, then heavy and loud and clamoring, then nothing.
