water

 

they say

water ok

 

so water

but what's

 

it got to do

with now

 

but you're interested

in higher ground

 

who wouldn't be

with all the radio fuzz

 

let it come

if it's coming

 

you say

let that

 

fat slab

of water

 

find me

we keep

 

looking toward

the horizon

 

there is

a hole

 

in the bar

the city

 

isn't

washed

 

sermons

clacking

 

& your god

is quiet

 

you say

god is mad

 

but all i hear

is quotations

 

scripture

hum

 

& pages

turning

 

what does

that leather

 

on your

bible do

 

where is

the math in this

 

this part

is where

 

you

preach

where the garden

 

gets

watered
