because we fail
to de-objectify objects
and deform forms- a process
which allows us to see the matter 
beneath the object-
the world is strewn
with unrelated things,
immobile and inert solids,
objects foreign 
to our nature.
the soul, therefore, suffers
from a deficiency
of material imagination.
by grouping images
and dissolving substances,
water helps the imagination
in its task of de-objectifying
and assimilating.
it also contributes
a type of syntax,
a continual linking up
and gentle movement of images
that frees a reverie
bound to objects.
