Basically, the meaning of this poem is about washing the sin or bad past.
First, you have to talk about the theme ....
1) Theme:
I think rain is a symbolism of a big shock or big memory. Because the ran got into his head, he has certain odd behaviors. Walking slowly, stepping softly... many possibilities that can represent this big shock event, "love" is the symbolism of rain in my opinion. He says all he hears as he lies in his bed is a sli*****y-slosh of water. This means he's just full of thinking about his lady (?) or love all day long, since he meets her like rain dropping. Besides, he cannot handstand because he can overflow. I think this means he cannot stand himself anymore to deny the truth of love, or he is just at the edge right before exploding his joy or happiness of love. At the shift, like everyone who become weird and behaves differently than before, author has same consequences of love that can make people think, "I think he changed somehow."
2) Connotation:
Imagery-Rain dropping on author and flowing into brain. If you read the poem carefully, you can imagine yourself standing alone in the rain. The visual of rain falling, feeling of your head cooled down by filling water inside, sound of rain sparkling on your head, and you can even feel through all of your senses with great impression. This symbolism is really important to this poem that it drags the reader into the poem to make him/her feel what the author is trying to say.
There are a lot of things you can talk about ~
anyway...Good luck and have fun =)
