Three Atoms

You’ve been drinking water.
A lot of water.
Enough water to drown a cow,
you’ve been drinking.

You hope you will see the results you’re looking for:
the hunger abatement
the cleared complexion
the lack of blackouts from dehydration,
but you’re drinking in faith at the moment.
You believe this will help you
immensely.

It better, since you’ve been pissing.
A great deal of piss.
Enough piss to create a urine cow
which no one should ever have to see.
You’ve been dashing to the bathroom so much,
you’re daily clocking your required steps.
It’s immense, really.

It’s all for the good, though.
You’ll reach the desired conclusions.
Your health will improve
your bruises from falls will heal
and your skin will be like milk.
Not that you’re drinking milk.
Just that blessed H2O.
You’ve been drinking water.
