"Wet, she was a star -- dry she ain't" ***

it's wet
everything is wet
my hair is wet
it weighs heavy on my head
my thoughts are wet
they're drip drip dripping
from synapses
splashing and scattering
who knows what they were
before they dripped
my brain is crying again
it misses yours
everything is wet
the ocean is wet
but you knew that
the river is wet
it runs through my head
it runs through this room
the music in here is wet
but it's a sticky humidity wet
my hair is wet
my thoughts are wet
my desires are wet
your body is wet
it slips over me
in my wet head
the music is wet
the ink is wet
all our threads are wet
the books are wet
the pages are all stuck together
the desk is wet
the bed is wet
my fears are wet
my testament is wet
the hobbits are wet
and they're not even real
everything is wet
everything is heavier
the mountains are all wet
it's rolling down from the tops
flooding my valley
everything is wet
except my throat
it's dry, thirsty
in a very specific way and
you're wet
don't think I haven't noticed
~SW Gaines

***Oh and of course the first quote, you know-
"Wet, she was a star -- dry she ain't"
referred to?
That was what Joe Pasternak's thought
about swimmer Esther Williams and her
1940's film career.
