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
