My wineglass cracked. It fell into the river below and all i could
do was watch it flow away. It was still morning. I couldn't see the
sun but knew it was sparkling behind the brown ranges

Snap out of it and Dont give me your profound shit.
This is where you need it. Intensity. passion. desire. tra la la la..
Wake up next to yourself and you will know. Let the rain strip you down to bare minimum and you will feel..
Feel what you couldnt. See what you didnt.
Hear the wineglass crack and the Rainmaker laugh.
But, what's so funny? why is he laughing?
Ignore him , little girl. You dont need to know.You shouldnt.
