It Is Going to Rain Any Moment Now

It is going to rain any moment now.

Dark clouds above tell me so.
But my landlord is going on, about
The bright yellow and orange-
chalk scribbled ground.
She wants me-
to clean it up.
I say-
Look at this deep,
red scratch on my son's arm.
You should have heard how he howled-
From one of your cracks, broken,
right there on your ground.

I will not use your dirty plastic jug
to pour water on the concrete.

It is going to rain any moment.
