Raindrop

what does a raindrop see
when it's being hurled to the surface of the earth at twenty miles an hour?

because i'm falling down
from the thirtieth story of this building
and honestly, it's all a blur

how does a raindrop keep its composure
when it's due to hit concrete in seconds?

how does it keep from screaming like i'm doing --
or, at least trying to --
i can't make much sound when the air is stuffing my lungs.

does the droplet's life flash before its eyes?
does it remember its adiabatic birth?
could it recognize its origin tempest?

maybe it doesn't have to
because it knows the impact won't be its end
for isn't all rain recycled?

i wonder if i'll be reborn
maybe the next incarnation won't jump.
