UNDERTONES: CENTURY MINDED, by                    
First Line: They've had their ration of good luck
Last Line: "the more there isn't any water."
Subject(s): Water


They've had their ration of good luck --
Now there's the beauty of completeness
In the faces of old wise men
Talking in the sun.
Interior smiles
Hover like butterflies
About their eyes and lips
As they meditate on the old proverb:
"The more one digs
The more there isn't any water."
