Like Water
seeping into the Ground
Unhindered,
running along Rootlets
such dirtbound dendrites
dangling off Roots
into deeper Depths
spreading
fast and insidiously
Penetrating
Far down in the Earth
reaching Aquifers
large Underground Lakes
Porously Joined
connecting Tributary Streams
And their Mighty Rivers
Such massive Arteries
Across land
Like Flesh
Reaching at Length
that greater expanse
the Ocean
Rumors, once moving amongst
Us like Water,
Now, “likes” Fastening us each to
each, by Hand, Finger
and cyber Scrolls
