(A Little Poetry on something that we all peripherally view and deal with.)
And Notes on the absurd, debasing, and truly humiliating, in spite of the best laid "street plans", aspects of violent human conflict.
The "shadow falling" being the unwanted arrival of the enemy, as our hero has their hands to the ground in pain("pulsing belabored").
The title basically conveys the idea of: "Size Matters". Ie. It takes a lot of energy marshaled to produce war. It tends to "ride over us", the "individual". From a phenomenological point of view, when it(war) "fails" us, things don't go our way - this thing above us is "leaking" and we get soiled - in regards to energy, social interaction/facilitation(comrades), and ultimately, the prospects for biological survival. It is not "water" that is "dropped" but - a "tar-like" substance(which I used for poetic "mesh").
The final part deals with the reality of bureaucracy; ie. it arises because of man's ineptitude, a paternalism of sorts. Human life and experience are only data to be managed and processed; of course, given the fairly explosive nature of man; ie. the tendency of the "self", when confronted by external forces, if it is in proximity to that which it covets and if it possesses the physical energy, conflict is simply inescapable. "Deskflyers" seldom give this basic mode its just due(ie. "the furies") in their miscreant zeal, due in part to its benevolent totalitarianism(at best) and in part, mostly, to sheer human inertia and small-mindedness given our predilection towards comfort. Think of Orwell's cafeteria scene with its notorious horrid food.

[edit] Is this really suitable for wikipedia?
In my eyes, it's more of a wiktionary article. 217.60.43.5 06:28, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
It is suitable, but could be developed into discussion of philosophical cruelty, re: Nietzsche, Artaud, etc.
[edit] cruel
a cruel is also a mythival creature found in c.s.lewis's chronicles of nirnia. it is for the most part transparent, use a subsonic scream to attack it's enemies, and is a follower of the white witch.
