Moisture

The Residents

Someone saw a strange amount
Of moisture on her lips
And it was also seen upon
Her arms and on her hips

No one knows exactly
Who she was or how she died
But when they opened up her purse
They found a snail inside

    General CommentShe was raped on a wet lawn. A snail crawled into her purse from the grass.

    General CommentI'd like to think the moisture came from the snail, like she was rubbing it around her body like a weirdo and it released a toxin that killed her.

    General CommentI think it takes place during an autopsy, and that the woman either drowned or was dumped in a body of water.

    General CommentPersonally, I believe "Moisture" isn't about someone dead at all. It's about a girl, who people see. And they think she's kinda strange. They don't really know how she came to be that way, but somehow, she just exists.
