The tears of her loneliness rolled from her Cheeks and fell
upon the steaming pavement outside a second-rate shopping center in Torrance,
California, those tears quickly evaporating in the heat and turning into
molecularized water vapor that was gradually pulled into the upper atmosphere
and slowly dispersed across the planet until,
many years later, a few of the molecules descended upon Riomaggiore,
Italy, where they were inhaled by her soul-mate, Giorgio Abatangelo whom she
would never, ever, meet. –Michael Shaw,
