Raining and Cold in Florida

dreaming of sun and long walks on beach,

learning that dreams are not reality, that even

government agencies cannot determine the weather

even if well funded.

I watch the rain drip down the NASA sphere and

ponder $50 tickets to get out of the rain for an hour, 

I pull up my rain  hood instead and head back to the  hotel

for a long nap.

there is always tomorrow when it will rain again

and I will return to the NASA globe, pluck down

my $46 for being 55+ and enjoy the ride.
