I gestated on a cumulus-
                      -congestus before being
dropped through the
                       atmosphere to a grassy
hilltop where I seeped
                     deep into the earths core.
It was a reservoir in the
                         Hiber-Nation awaiting
capillary reincarnation
                          an emerging nascency.
I became a spring trickle
                     of initial infancy growing
to a stream a pool a pond
                        and on to become a lake
where my captivity of
                     liquid claustrophobia was
too much to cope with so
                          I overflowed to be born
again with a new baptism
                           becoming known by a
different name which was
              my schizophrenic beginnings.
I was joined by the like
                    minded type cast branded
polluted harnessed. Dam.
                             Imprisoned by a high
wall forced labour.
                            On reflection Nimbus
Cloud 9 harps on about
                          Buddhism and it being
a stage of enlightenment
                          but this holds no water
unless the sun shines
                        and I evaporate to begin
this whole process again
                             but how likely is that
in an Irish summer
                         which differs little from
winter in Cork the county
                           keeping Ireland afloat.
Well, I'm being converted
                                 to electricity while
waiting for global warming
                                which according to
what I'm hearing is likely
                            as meeting an iceberg
in the river Lee on my way
                    to the Atlantic to be salted.
