The surface tension in a drop of water is enough to hold a world in,
if the world is small enough,
A cubic meter of salt water contains seventy billion tears and tears
are what you are made of -- salt and water and pain and relief
The distance between you and me can be measured in drowned
fishermen, ships lost at sea, shipboard romances, and tidal waves
When you sweat, your frustration comes out in rivulets, meaning
you have many avenues for relieving your stress: heat and hard work
are not your only choices, but they do the job if you let them
I brought you this glass of water because I don't have any comfort
to give you so I comfort myself with this wet gift
