it's in the way your body cold sweats, and fevers, and finds a new level of ache and pain.

when you awake twenty minutes before the sun and your nose is running away from you, while your throat is winning a dryness contest with the kalahari.

when your head feels like you're drunk and all of your body's energy is focused on your internal organs.

it begins your day very craptacularly, and then the sun comes over the horizon, only to be overwhelmed by the pouring rain...

and the sad song rolls on to the rythym of the beating drops.
