The water towers 
That stand at the edge 
Of every town, that’s where
The grief-water is stored.
Sixty-four ounces
A day is recommended.
The water flows 
As swiftly into the houses
As it does into the hospital
Where the young nurse 
Is having trouble
Finding the vein.
But fortunately 
The patient is patient.
The patient is herself.
