water cycle<br />

Tim Heffernan<br />

the thing that got me about it was its arrows. the diagram<br />

of the water cycle i learned to draw in high school. it was<br />

perfect too—what went up came down. transpiration<br />

evaporation precipitation—everything was clean again.<br />

water always there and pure. the water cycle had no bottles.<br />

water was storage—out of the cycle, drained from<br />

aquifers by nestlé and left plastic wrapped and shipped<br />

off to countries where water is not a human right. water,<br />

water everywhere and not a supermarket in sight.<br />
