Aqua

Water-bearer
you did, you actually brought me water
you hand delivered
all 20 oceans of it
to my back yard pond
politely! without breaking a sweat
you shocked even me
when you shouted and the room jumped
and jovial, wild winks
huh?
you came before me?
I know. I forgot how the winds wane
and H20 is made up of so much oxygen
why did I ever think I'd drown?
I breathe in bubbles
and you were right,
I swim in the clouds.
