eau

Thoughts on water:

I like standing in the rain 

because it's nice to have some other sort of water running down my cheeks 

besides tears.

Today I opened my car's sunroof and let the snow in, 

which I've never done before.

I like being in new places, where even the water tastes different.

Flowers and I are kindred spirits.

We both need drinks.

I like it best when water gets shimmery,

like the light dancing on the ocean,

or the blinding, sparkly slopes when I'm on a ski lift.

I hate tonic water,

 but it does remind me of Italy,

which was a trip comparable to a first kiss,

and now I'm even more thirsty.
