like a fool
i go to the well
hoping for water
knowing there is none
once, it was a spring
gushing from the ground
water sweet and pure
like a fool
i built a dam
to hold the water
and it spilled over
like a fool
i dug a hole
built a well
the water slowed
clouded and salted
the water ceased
the well dried
the spring died
like a fool
every morning
i go to the well
wishing, wishing there was water
