Where Water Goes at Night

where water goes at night

after dark you know,
all the rivers simply vanish.
(the moon employs midnight plumbers for just this purpose.)

as likely though,
they simply go
seeking the bars they built day after day.

every night
not a channel in sight.
only sound lapping sound lapping sound.
