It seems pointless with no one to watch the droplets hit
Or to listen to the sound of water versus water
You could say that when it rains in the middle of the ocean
It’s not raining at all
There is no smell except salt
No windows flying past curtains
Only a single gull lost and laughing
You could say that when it rains in the middle of the ocean
It’s not raining at all
Surface tension spitting
Fish asleep to the sound of droplets on the roof
If no one’s there to hear it, no one has proof
You could say that when it rains in the middle of the ocean
It’s not raining at all
A sky of water becomes a body of water
No lines in between, no touch, no color, no name you can call
When it rains in the middle of the ocean
It’s not raining at all
