I am phone posting from a gazebo outside of a library while using their WiFi in the rain

It is raining, but it is not a storm

an afternoon of drizzle mostly 

hours of damp

There are many places I could sit, but not with this view

alone, but in the middle of others 

360 degrees of small town.

I could say I had a story in my head before I sat down

that I don't need the material, 

that would be a lie. 

This is how it works: 

Someone is going to walk by and remind me of someone else

small sparks start fires.
