6 things

As the rain trickled from my dark brown eyes
To the white clean pillow
And also from the light blue sky
To the soggy ground
I heard only six things
Which were....

My mom cooking rice at the black stove
My dog barking at the rain as it poured down
My dad watching the LOUD television set
My next door neighbors playing in the strong rain
Felicia and Nate's parents car driving out of the garage and disappearing into the thick rain
And of course,
The strong strong rain!

I didn't know why
But I only heard
Six things....!!
