Useless Waterways

Useless Waterways It is a long river goes on till water meets the sky and as I have no oars have to follow the waterway till the place when all things are the same Nirvana, some people say other calls its nothingness. But there rivers that run into the sand never given the chance to flow and dream of becoming a Nile or an Amazon.... Stillborn they are. The lucky river runs deep underground and has fish with no eyes and frogs white as new fallen snow. The river ends up in a lake where fishtailed women live. If you stop and listen you can hear the lake sigh and the river throbs, it never misses a beat. Mermaids have no uterus cannot bear children and lament that sex is more important than babies.
