Free flowing urine
In storing tanks of seen beings
Really give pleasure
It’s little drops of urine
Which burn and cause eyes to tear
II
One would think they are
Insignificant, but no
They are those who cause burning
Sensations, they do.
Burning sensations known for
Its inter-external tears
(This poem talks about the hurt we feel sometimes about little things. It amazes many when hurtful things fail to hurt us but very little things sends us overboard. It’s nature. We all have things which get to us, but sometimes the little ones do hurt more. That is what I meant by this symbolism.)

Yes, it’s those little things that get under your skin and keep you awake nights. 😦

True. And sometimes it arrests your heart and there is nothing you can do about it.
