i am a water spirit
i have a natural flow
but life (or me?) sequesters
it in thousand bowls all in a row

within each bowl a flavor
and a poison and a cure
but after time and many bowls
which one's which: i'm not so sure

at heart i'm very simple
and at times i want to flow
but life (or me?) sequesters
me in thousand bowls all in a row.
