Drink of Water

whenever I wander down the lazy river
going downhill fast
don’t want to come in last
my hair was in the clouds
my roots was underground
they took away my family
and now they won’t give them back
another fork in the road
the last motel
tossed from a car
or lost in the clouds
I need a drink of water
I went to Niagra
went faster & faster
got a box of water
a liquid souvenir
now it’s raining blackbirds
piled up at the back door
like the constellations
they won’t stay up in the sky
I need a drink of water
