Water men

All in town go by water and talk with the water, desire to be water: a dress of ten thousand hands. The water received the water and they made a great deal of joy to see one another. I left off my great skirt and went to sell a horse for a dish of herrings.

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Thursday 2 February 1659/60.
