The world is but a drop of rain;
Pitter patter pitter patter
Splash!---and not be seen again:
The paradox of disappearing matter.

We--
We are
The ones who wait
Dreams--
The keys
That open the gate

Let us watch as the
Eternally brief world
Spins defiantly 'round
Until our faces disintegrate
And flow into the ground.
