Pick up Sticks

Monday, September 20, 2010

Do you know of the river, dear?

The slosh and strand of crisp?
Grandeur; Variety
But you know
Feet cooling down on the bank

Here am I
Making chowder with the fruit of my labor
Shimmery scales
Sandy shells in piles on the threshing counter

Do not
Suppose I am a grizzled fisherman
Sailing indifferently through the mist
A sailor is picturesque
Not I
I just like chowder
