You need it.

The same way it supplies, is the same way it sacrifices,

You marvel at the way a phenomenon can conquer it's ability to swallow what dares to defy its purpose. 

Create a wave that could only be a goodbye, morph into a twist that has no solution, be a surface that doesn't hold. 

It's real.

It's a metaphor.

Drip,

A drowning person grabs for a floating board, even if it's full of nails.

Drop.
