I want crack, dirty and yellow and filled with formaldehyde.

I want something anything whatever however as much as I can.

The quiet rain that can rust a tin roof without the tin roof making a sound in protest. The shamanic rain that feeds the imagination. The rain that seems actually a secret language, whispering, like the ecstasy of primitives, of the essence of things.
