Water Bill

Water Bill 

Driving down from my eyrie – I only said this to 
Sound educated- I thought that since there is no proof
Of god`s existence, I have been reflecting about the man 
Or is it person- in charge of the rainbows.
I want to do something about it not always the same colours
5 I think and when you get to the point where it ends 
It is a miasma of vanishing tinges.
An Iris should be firmer and sometimes yellow or red
Stick to the ground so children could climb on it not all day
But say, once a month.

At the bottom of the hill, I crossed a bridge it was dry and
Looked like the tiny bits Palestinians are allowed to live on
 I remembered I had forgotten to pay the water bill and 
Sometimes in the future there will be wars over water.
