Rain
Location
I like rainstorms
They wash the world around me
It smells new
The smell of petrichor softly stains the air I breathe
I can walk in different worlds in the aftermath
The amplified hush of Indiana towns
The splashing rush of East Coast Cities
Plants grow
Dead leaves and litter become soggy mush
Buildings lose their dust
Rain is an ambient situational mutagen
Changing everything it touches, if only briefly
People can be like that, too
Regardless of how long the change lasts, a person influences those around them
To speak, act, be different
Sometimes those changes can be permanent
Damaging, even
The nature of the change is immaterial
Change is all that matters
