The Universal Solvent
You tried to hold me yesterday,
I slipped through your fingers.
Didn't will it that way
Really,
I spilled down your leg and
Pooled in a corner.
You caught my eyes;
The rest of me seeped
Into the floor and
Warped it.
That's what I do, you know:
Take what is strong and
Make it weak,
Gather myself again and
Flow on
Down.
