Watermind
Something happened, thickened,
the mind of water wept, quickened.

"Bathos" by @Ray Miller
"It feels like a watery cynical rejection of the sixties "flannel" language, and an expose of ageing and the ageing ideals that go with it. I think it could be condensed into 1 or 2 verses if you want to convey emotion r…" -
