PROBABLY LOW TIDE
Probably low tide is an ordinary thing,
since water is the element we are most familiar
in. The only element we're comfortable with.
It douses that which would singe, smothering
the selfsame forces we thrive on for heat
and flame with its wet blanket of stifling
wetness. A film, as thin as ice - when it freezes -
is the very same force which kills the masses
as it breeches : water-wall, bulkhead and dam.
Tsunami and flood; the associated crud of
mud and infestation and damp and mold.
Surely I could go on - but it gets so 'old'.
Right now, this faulty rain annoys - spitting
downward and wetting all things. Tophats and
raincoats and umbrellas and cars - each bead up
with the little bullets of water; fallen, perhaps,
just like Mankind. Fallen, just like Man.

(If I may be so bold).
