~O CABAÇO PÚBLICO DAS COISAS~

When rains come down to flood the town
And earnest citizens really ought’er
try to make and keep things sort’er
dry…

I make water.

When water’s rare and cattle’s dying
and I’m as thirsty as can be
and long for some water in me –
God – damn it!

I still pee.

–– Maya Deren
Massachusetts, 1938
