WATER
written by Michael Patrick Vitale

Am I any softer?
Is that why I cry?
Maybe I'm like water
Flowing freely most the time

You may stay at arms length
maybe build a dam
I divert my current
And circumvent demand

You may freely slap my surface
But forceful makes me hard
Or gently touch my epidermis
to penetrate this liquid guard

You may course inside my current
As it is not mine alone
The way as set before us
To places yet unknown
