one; a grey cloud always hovers above him,
providing a constant drizzle of salty tears.
two; people around him pull out their umbrellas,
but his hands are weighed down in his pockets.
three; no one approaches him to offer help,
so he shivers and succumbs to the emptiness.
one two three, come drown with me.
