Plateau-Rayleigh Instability
The Plateau–Rayleigh instability, often just called the Rayleigh instability, explains why and how a falling stream of fluid breaks up into smaller packets with the same volume but less surface area.
that long summer when we were kids
inventing fun between sisters
me carrying the weight of the world
on my head (you pushing) the bag of sugar
falling I remember your thundercloud face
humming before glowing before cracking
I was trying so hard to impress you
and willing to perform becoming air
climbing the stairs like you told me to
you at the bottom arms out saying
go on go on
the flat top of the landing me somersaulting
the plateau (you) disappearing
me of course falling like rain
