Be Like Water

Freedom from time that's being released.
Outside it, like water, to go where I please.

The Mole

A lonely Mole came from a hole,
To catch a lunch of tender sole.
"O Sole Mio, so sang the Mole,
"I've Lost my Sole", he sang also.
The mole drank a drop of salty sloe,
And slowly downed his meal of sole.

"In Hell's Hotel, there lies a gal.
 A little one for whom I fell.
 On her pillow, on her bed,
 I'm mad, tethered, weighted pledged,
 Mind me not as I seek out a ledge.
 I'll jump off, and float to sea.
 One more Mole, to eternity."
