Hello, bottle. There is a friend down there?

Do you see?

No.

But I have pressed my lips to yours.

We have shared a certain intimacy.

Surely, if there is no one there,

Then you must be...there?

...At least.

No.

But you speak.

I am Echo.

My own?

I am all echoes.

I am tomorrow.

I am lament.

I am the wishes the fountain has rejected.

Will you be my friend, then?

No.

But you speak?

To me.

So does regret.

Wait in the gutter while I fetch her.

I have no patience for you.
