An origin, an involuntary source, its wildness bent to external will to flow where it would not. Contained, tamed, forced into a metallic vein, the earth torn to receive the artifice.
Destination of this diversion forever dependent on the principle compliant vitality.
A city subsists by this feat of enigneering, for love or money, citizens grateful, for both shelter and nourishment; what they used was good. The design became the object of admiration. Unthinking, forgetting, people became remote from the fountainhead.
All else that’s alive goes to the water and if a plant, it waits.
