• Plop.

    That first one was
    ignorance.

    Plip.

    That next one there,
    that one was
    mindless.

    Plip. Plop.

    Those,
    those were
    witless;
    imbecilic.

    Plop.

    This time it was
    naïveté.

    Next time will be
    unconscious;
    insensible;
    unmindful;
    benighted.

    This is what happens
    when the rain falls unheeded;
    unchecked;
    unfiltered.
