Why does rain drop?
Why does rain drop?
 Why does snow fall?
 
 If anything rain hurtles 
 That fat three dimensional tear sprints toward the pavement 
 Outside and hits it causing a satisfying “smack”
 
 If anything snow flutters
 It twists this way and that
 Trying to avoid its fate
 Of melting and fading
 
 We are snowflakes afraid of death
 
 We need to embrace the inescapable
 
 We need to be more like rain, and just drop
