Drip.

Drop.

Drip.

Drop.

Again, again, again it slides down the Great Wall.

Drip.

Drop.

Crack.

Faster, faster, faster—

Worthy of a deep stare.

Drips into puddles into pools into streams into rivers.

Roaring through the air.

Rocks fall.

Birds call.

and last of all…

The Great Wall is not so tall.
