To Signify

Gary Edward Geraci

 

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.

    I talk some rubbish. I tried to save the planet some oxygen by not breathing for 24 hours - one full day. I didn't feel well afterwards! heehee.
