You do.
Those first outloud thirsty cries-

to the last dehydrated gasps

are the

natural

demands

of your body,

to be replenished.

Your body’s fight for this is a never ending cry of “Help!”.

Your body is terrified of wild fires, being burnt alive,

being stranded in parched deserts,

imagining floating alone in the waterless outer space-

your bowels shrink up at the thought of these.

Constipation sets in.
Painful sitdowns and squatdowns commence.
Hemorrhoids Torn Skin HeartAttack Strokes

Pushing Straining Dried Up Dammed Up

-struggles with defecating

are prevented when you treat your body

like the plant that it is.
