CHUCKLEBERRY FINN
In retrospect this object feels insecure, always fluid
In design there is a bias to the Mother Earth.
It laughs out at helpless people that cannot reach it.
It immerses those that need it not in their life.
It chuckles at our antics on its silver body.
It revolves and encompasses a meandering traveller.
It holds a full combat arena for infinite bodies.
It holds also the greatest masters of the performing arts.
Mingling and talking with all,
it treasures its weary users.
With aplomb and silent glee,
Just for the sake of a single requirement,
it will give up much.
So much happens within its ever changing boundaries,
Empires fall, people dance under its phenomenal power.
It kills and wounds beyond reason, and it is worshipped.
Slipping and sliding and slithering silently and sweetly
Water is our greatest breath of pure oxygen.
Injected to our core.
