diabolic mercy

Somebody said man,
you would give the devil 
a drink of water.

I thought about it. I said
probably, yes I would! Partly
I would give anyone a drink of
water, if they're thirsty. And if I
had water. Partly, a lifetime habit
of considering that given individuals 
are not the devil. Risky you say, but
it has not yet bit me in the ass. And

partly, the devil is not Aquaman.
Think about it. Water
probably weakens

him.
