Here I am...
looking bare, desolate,
shorn of my vital parts
but all the same,
getting attention
from endless batches of
selfie hunters,
thanks to a bubbling,
effervescent neighbour
plummeting over rocks,
in a 'happy-go-lucky' mood
that is contagious.

The forceful flow
is drawing oohs and aahs
from an enraptured audience
but I don't really mind

coz I am constantly
drenched in spray from
cool n' friendly rivulets,
that trickle down effortlessly,
driving away my morbid thoughts.
