"Water, water everywhere
and not a drop to drink."
~Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The dripping started yesterday
and I shared my joy, as you
must remember.
Today, a stronger drip . . .
bright red, accompanied with
sludge. Methinks it might not
be long now.
I can remember when I used
to lust after other things, and
now . . . I dream of water, in
streams, in jugs, in brimming
cups. When I buy gallons of
the stuff, I buy many, many!
I'm halfway 'twixt and 'tween
begging the gods on bended
knee and shaking my fist at
them and demanding gushing
water!
Water! WATER!! W A T E R !!!
