water

I take water
for granted. I expect it
to come out
of the faucet.
i'm not surprised
when the shower works
and rains down,
or the tub rises.
when i'm thirsty I hold
a glass
under the cold stream
and let it fill.
I can't imagine
life any other way.
and that's where
you come in.
you pour yourself
out
when I need you.
