one day
the water frees us the next it entraps
ostensibly we are made of it
fortunately
but we gamble
with dirt
traitors to the moisture
with string theory
and trips to the bathroom
and car door handles
if you're young and good looking well
thats one thing
but don't feed me the vapid drink of thoughts
i don't need rainwater and grain alcohol
I'm not worried about communists
          if you read the lines
          you will not worry
          water may be your mistress
          so she won't drown you
          but she might hold you under
          for a bit
