Just now,
n o w h e r e ,
in a present moment
as the Great Present unfolds
of its own self sewing two-speak a
kind of an odd thought presented to me
of all people how the taste of water can be.

Akin to nothing.
Along with the other tastes.
The four or five if not more than them.

A saying could be said, water tastes like nothing.
It has no special taste like the others argh.

Prehaps it is akin to Wu, Nothing, Nonbeing
in terms of how it tastes naturally without
other elements or chemicals within it being.

As a metaphor, to hear it gurgle, burble and run
streaming without meaning to sound nor to go.
It could be an iconic form of wu-wei, eh.

- thanks! Cheers!

> how the taste of water can be.

A noun, a verb, singular, plural.
The sounds it makes without intent.
Transparent, transformative, transcending.
A horse might be able to follow the scent.

Walking through it, in the air, like a fog.
Swimming throught it, in a lake, floating like a log.
Touching it when cold as ice can freeze as solid.

In a chapter, in a verse, a line may suggest
it's metaphorically weak and soft and yet
able to dissolve what is difficult at times
by simply flowing around for a spell.

Round and square, dropping as drops,
evaporating and returning, again and again.
It waves and could be molecular as wells are
dug in the ground to find it sitting with a table.

- without legs ... ... hmmm ...

A cup of hot coffee cools.
Why does this astound me.

Round after round.
To look, seek and find.

A word, dao, is able to explain.
And can be fei chang dao as well.

- thanks! aye. Cheers!
