YOU WANT AN
ABSTRACT WATER SOURCE?
My tears in a bucket, how would that do? I can't
bend over any deeper than this; my sorrow is
already to painful to bear, and for anyone else
to watch. This stuff should never see the light
of day. Witness the oasis, but then let it fade.
-
You want an abstract resignation? You want
me to say I give up : okay, that's pretty easy.
Time on your hands is time on my head. I'll be
here when the lilac's bloom again.

The primrose lane is paved. Achilles' tendon
is still hurting in the absence and that big monster
from 'Gilgamesh' is dead. Something's gurgling
in the age-old water. We are men, and part of
Mankind's mess - old, with swagger and pus,
strong and delirious, grown wild with desire,
and now...so tired. You want an abstract
water source? Leave that to us.
