Dehydrated and depressed.
If these things are related by cause and effect
then water should fix this
in the way that water fixes everything.
Two days ago I was a model.
One day ago I was delirious.
Last night I was in heaven.
Today I feel fat.
At this moment
in a café I'm surrounded
by a gathering of nicely dressed abuelas.
I wonder
Have they felt these things? Are they happy now?
They do not look dehydrated.
nor do they look depressed.
Likely because they have family and routine and compromise.
The abulelas do not
make themselves suffer.
The abuelas remember
to drink water.
