Transcript: Rains by Mr Blackwood Up high, above it all, clouds hold the promise of rain with potential. Carry the promise of waters to wash away the marks that everything bears. The rains seek release in downpours and outbursts... ARCHIVIST: Martin? MARTIN: [squeak] --- [clears throat] ...the rains seek release in downpours and outbursts, Expressed when the weather turns to action. Pouring out, tumbling down, spilling forth. The sharpness and the purity fall Acquires new character on the descent, Comes into contact with ideas of the environment. Picks up pollutants as it slides down surfaces. Clarity clouded as it condenses. Potential now tarnished in gutter overflow. And poor incy wincy is washed out.

If this is foreshadowing the finale somehow, I will give it all the snaps before burying my head in a pillow to scream. Thanks for sharing all of these poems, though! I'm sure they were a blast to write.

Every time I think about him reading these at his job I lose it laughing.
Lost it at rhyming “descent” with “environment”. Thank you so much for this

thank you Anil for writing these! Martin's poems always make me laugh
Oh, Martin. It's a good thing you have a day job. Even if it's really unfortunate that it's *this* day job.

I also love how he's still trying to settle on a pen name xD
