The Well
and its waters were older than Methuselah’s bones,
and this water was fed to us all.
We all received
but some got more.
We all received
but some did more.
The few went out
and took their intake and made
it intake for others,
kept the water flowing as if they were
the river of life.
But what will come of the day when,
we aren’t allowed at the well,
when it’s all but wet
and all the water is called cheap imitation.
