This is the mystery of the quotient
Upon us all a little rain must fall

musings on a car window on a rainy day

lonely drops shiver

and shake,

slowly moving toward

one another,

drawn inexorably

inexplicably

together.

sightless, they find one another

without the benefit

of a common hollow or watercourse.

joining their comrades,

they coalesce

until

critical mass is reached.

then they quickly slide

away,

off the window,

to become lonely drops again.
