Wonderful clip - The Raincoat
A clip from the podcast Wonderful by Rachel and Griffin McElroy, episode 148.
The Raincoat
by Ada Limón
When the doctor suggested surgery
and a brace for all my youngest years,
my parents scrambled to take me
to massage therapy, deep tissue work,
osteopathy, and soon my crooked spine
unspooled a bit, I could breathe again,
and move more in a body unclouded
by pain. My mom would tell me to sing
songs to her the whole forty-five minute
drive to Middle Two Rock Road and forty-
five minutes back from physical therapy.
She’d say, even my voice sounded unfettered
by my spine afterward. So I sang and sang,
because I thought she liked it. I never
asked her what she gave up to drive me,
or how her day was before this chore. Today,
at her age, I was driving myself home from yet
another spine appointment, singing along
to some maudlin but solid song on the radio,
and I saw a mom take her raincoat off
and give it to her young daughter when
a storm took over the afternoon. My god,
I thought, my whole life I’ve been under her
raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel
that I never got wet.

This bit is towards the end of MBMBaM ep. 386 - Candlenights 2017. It makes me laugh every time so I chose it as my first kinetic typography piece.

Thank you so much for putting this clip up! I loved this reading, it made me cry a lot
The one downvote is from someone truly....... Despicable
okay but this is literally the best answer they've given to any question on the show
Every single time I hear the words "and it's out there like "BANANA" or whatever" I lose my shit
I drove past a house with a giant minion inflatable the other day, and it triggered my memory of this clip. So glad CZcams decided to serve it back to me right after that happened. The urge I had to jump out real quick and adjust it ever so slightly so it was looking back into the house was OVERWHELMING
I'm a fan of the primary colors on the black background. It gives it a little more "oomf," I think. Thanks for sharing this-- keep it up!
