Matter and form in the crystal clear drinking
Glass, a container sweating condensation
Contains the ice cold creature water filled to
The brim; so inviting. A created being,
Say it again, a creature, the drinking water
That is, a creature, its form holding the matter
Hydrogen and oxygen in just the right
Proportion… but who cares about that
right now;
This thirst has swollen tongue and cheek,
raspy sand-
Paper throat; a red hot clammy hand reaches,
Grasps, and rushes the cool, gratifying liquid
Into its body; the effect immediate:
Completely satisfying, life sustaining,
A clear mind to contemplate its full significance.
