The weather in Honolulu
has been mesmerizing:
Breezy Trade Winds,
blue skies,
and clouds of all sorts
scudding along
high & low.
Temps in the 70c F.
The other evening
I got caught in a steady downpour
walking home
from the Waikiki Post Office.
Having recently moved off of the boat
after 20 years,
it was a distinct pleasure
to enter my new, sturdy,
DRY building!
Passing through the INDOOR garage,
I noted my scooter
playing a hand of cards
with my small car
in the same parking space.
Nothing looks quite so bedraggled,
as a scooter or motorcycle
huddling under a dripping cover,
sitting in a puddle,
in the middle of a rain storm.
"There's my scooter,
dry in a rain storm."
I thought with satisfaction.
Instead of having wet rain
slide off of canvas
and down my neck,
I rode upstairs in the elevator
and entered my dry apartment.
Through the window,
I could see squalls
pouring over Honolulu Town.
Then I took a hot shower.
Soon my husband returned home.
The winds did not stir us.
The rain did not reach us.
We prepared & ate food,
while Kitty played on the carpet.
Ah! Civilization!
I shall never take it for granted.
And the next day,
Hawaii of post card fame
waited outside:
For a taste
of what I'm talking about
look at what happened
one year ago
