Increase Your Thirst

sweet water flows
to the thirstiest

now that you’ve awakened
and find yourself thirsty

dig a well
by all means
but increase 
your thirst

don’t worry about those
who’re still asleep
drinking water
from the fountains
in their dreams

let them dream
let them sleep

increase your own thirst
and don’t go back to sleep
