It's raining   so steady   Pulsating on the river   The leaves   are glistening   and earthworms   are getting withered   Now   I'm wading   in the rippling water   squishing on the slimy bottom   walking 'cross the jagged rocks   I hit some moss    and slip in underwater   Now   I'm waiting   for someone to pull me up   to shore or even up   to air   but barring that   I'm waiting for my silver crayfish      And right now   I'm getting muddy   I'm getting leeches   I'm getting wet      And looking up from the murky bottom   I see sunlight casting diamonds on the surface   Sure looks nice.      Half-empty   half-assed and   half-full and    half-witted   Half-life and   half-lived and   half-hearted   half-dead   Half-deaf and   half-listened   Half the time   Half way
