that slowly filled with
marbles.  I got heavy from the
weight. The more I filled up the
less room there was for

the essentials. But I put
my trust in no one, no matter
his credentials. Until you came along
with life-affirming water and filled up

the holes between the marbles. And then
continued up the sides until  
the bottom was far behind. And all one could
see when looking through me was the water.
