the price of water

The price of water Driving down from Eyrie- I said that to sound educated, I never had much schooling and often feel inferior when asking for the price of a packet of margarine  I was thinking of God's existence; is he a man  or a woman, perhaps an unfortunate person who wears a suit to work but would rather  wear a smart lady outfit. I wondered if he was in charge of the rainbow  if so, I would like a brighter color; the rainbow looked pale as a sullen milkmaid at six in the morning  tell him to let the rainbow show where it ends saving us to go hunt for the elusive gold  coins When it is stuck firmly on the ground  let children have found while adults hopefully dig At the bottom of a hill, a dry river, its banks looked sandy and I thought of Palestine and the poverty they have to endure The thought of water reminded me I had to pay the water bill today, or they will shut me off
