Raindrops keep falling
down and down on the desert sand
too dry, too hot to absorb the water
a thick film is formed, sliding down
the sandhills where gravity creates
mud
On my head
the sun is burning away the last hairs
while my skin burns as red as a boiled
lobster in a pot, the brain melts and is
getting laced with many citations of the
song
