Water Falls - full text of the 10-year old girl's poem?


It bugs me - what was the full text of the 10-year old girl's poem - anybody? :)

Not the full text, but like Paterson, I remember the first few lines!

Water falls from the bright air
Like hair
Pouring across a young girl's shoulders

Water falls from the bright air
It falls like hair
Falling across a young girl's shoulders
Water falls,
Making pools in the asphalt
Dirty mirrors with clouds and buildings inside
It falls on the roof of my house
It falls on my mother and on my hair
Most people call it rain.

That's a beautiful poem.

Om Mani Padme Hum

Thanks, I loved this poem

This one was written by Jarmusch himself. All the other poems were by his friend.

It's a better poem that any of the ones written by Driver's character. The trivia section on IMDB says Jarmush wrote it.
