30% Chance of Rain

30% Chance of Rain

A Poem by J. A. Perkins
"

In spite of the odds

"
Dancing in a thirty
percent chance of rain;
not just because it
beat the odds,
but because it never
even considered them.
Perhaps, even in
spite of them.
Or maybe to remind
the world that systems
and statistics are
man-made and fallible -
boasting with a
self-righteous tone,
yet still confined
to near fraudulence.

You can tell me
it won't rain,
but you won't
stop it from pouring.
You can tell me
there's no God,
but it won't stop
Him from healing
these festered wounds.
And you can tell me
I'll never walk,
but you won't keep
me from dancing..
