Post subject: That's How She Says Goodbye
The first time she lets a boy touch her is in December
,
just before her 18th birthday
.
The day the rain starts
.
It usually doesn't begin until January or February
,
but this year the rain comes early
.
Buckets and buckets of water dump down against the cement
,
against the strip malls
,
against the freshly painted stucco homes
.
In Southern
California
,
the further you get from the ocean
,
the less interesting it becomes
.
The beach boardwalks and bronze-colored beauties from the TV shows are replaced with high-desert heat
,
dust storms
,
and barren foothills
.
The annual precipitation is laughable
,
but for two weeks each year
,
the skies cloud over
,
and it rains with
vengeance
.
The sandy soil can't absorb the water fast enough
,
so the streets become rivers
,
hill sides become hill slides...
