its raining

I wish I could take off all my clothes and bury myself in the mud and play with the snails and worms underneath the wet fresh plants. ever since i was a child I've wanted this. but instead I would just take off my shoes and bury my feet in the mud and watch snails slither up my arm while everyone else would call me gross and weird. I still do that today.

and I hope the day never comes that I get too old to enjoy rainy days and the smell of mud and the feeling of snails crawling across my skin.
