Drink the Ramen

David Lohrey

It rains every day but there is no water.


In Chitose-Funabashi, the puddles are fine and the river runs wide,
But showers are on timers.


Take the wrappers off the bottles, keep the lettuce in the larder,
The neighbors eye our bin.


This summer, lightning strikes harder but the rains lose heart.
Locals don’t taste the noodles, the flavor’s in the broth.


It rains every day but there is no water.
