上午晴空萬里，

下午突來傾盆大雨。

積水來不及消退，

變成水窪的世界。

小時候的下雨天，

見到小水窪，

是逐個去踩踏。

長大後的下雨天，

見到小水窪，

是逐個去閃躲。

是因為，

沒有雨鞋的保護？

還是，

童心躲起來了嗎？

☔☔☔

The sky was clear all morning.

Then, in the afternoon,

it started pouring.

Before the rainwater could drain away,

puddles were everywhere.

When I was a kid,

Id jump right into every puddle I saw.

Now, whenever I see a puddle,

I dodge it instead.

Is it because

I dont have rain boots anymore?

Or is it because

my inner child has gone into hiding?
