Water Flowing Somewhere

and you might say to yourself
that fortune cookie from 5 years ago
was dead one accurate
i meant well
before i got my sad on
i guess it looked natural
the year the river flooded
the year mountain property was a good investment
and we took lunch in the canyons
the days average rainfall
dwindles from earliest memory
of the year he signed two treaties
one to foreclose the lineage
one to adopt the present
