TRANSLATION,PLEASE!

Water cannot come through glass(except when it(like we,is under pressure
Every element must accommodate each other...Fracked relationships fracture.
Floods bank tears in damned emotions.Drought and fire elope ,cantelope.
Rail lines bend round corners.We all meet@Infinity Cafe
Torn memories rip couples.Children witness storms.
Waves of static freak all peaceful meditators.Crime Soup boils over.
You filter through languages.We trickle down mountain meanings
Chinese philosophers fish for quarrels.Carp and Golden,Fish and Stray
African Tales Oral as Medicine-to be Taken As Directed.
Each Marvel Moment makes another Comic Convention
Translate this into European.Storm Und Drang.
Accent and dialect slept over in a bed and breakfast
Woke up ,strangers,in a foreign bed.Lost in translations.
