The Crash of Symbols

I walk in the rain. Wait for it: metaphor.
Rain equals tears. I must be sad. Maybe
A love has left, or an animal. Maybe my
My meal wasn't good, or I'm merely
Depressed. I haven't found a job.
Sun equals joy. A sky without clouds
Symbolizes life without cares, even if
I cannot find any work, but I'm tired of
Heat and knocking on doors. I'm
Actually pleased to be forced to turn back,
To plod my way home through the rain.
