we will drink chemicals
to feel that we are quenched
in the same way
we will accept less than
what are lives should be
to feel that we are loved
chemically induced happiness
until the test results come back
the body is more water
than any other element
and we have polluted
what we were intended to be
when conceived
in the starlight
One reply on “to feel that we are quenched”
Such an impressive last stanza here. I like the idea of pollution of ourselves in relation to the water in us. Amazing.
