Water and the Bottle


Care not that water takes the bottle's shape -
		friends born from good times
		enemies bred in bad times.
		
Rather water assuming the bottle's shape after bursting -
		friends born from strife
		enemies bred in Camelot


but more than this, friends and enemies that outlive the hour of their birth.
