-no, Duckie. there is no Santie Claus-

sometimes god reaches

into the water and

pulls-out a great fish

sometimes a minnow

sometimes silt is taken

from the depths of the water

sometimes silt

is drizzled into it
forming a blanket of silt

covering the bed of silt 

sometimes

the water is stocked

with new fishes

to be eaten by the more

experienced fishes

god churns the water

with a mighty hand!

pisses in the water

with a mighty abdominal thrust!

if god exists, the water expelled

will begat a great and terrible water.

if not, the water becomes what we do of it

and that’s the water we drink, Duckie.
