I love my umbrella by Jason Dong

I love my umbrella


My umbrella is my dearest friend. 

My umbrella keeps me dry,
My umbrella keeps me blind. (The icy rain stings my eyes.)
My umbrella crosses out my deadlines,
My umbrella softens my every fall.

My umbrella drowns out their nagging voices- "Do this thing!";
My umbrella blots out the figures that want me to. (Open the door, they say. My umbrella says Let's not.)
My umbrella makes me happy when it is dark,

My umbrella entertains me when I am bored.

My umbrella hugs me when I am lonely,
My umbrella tells me I am good.

... 


I want my umbrella back.
