Wenatchee
Don’t vacillate, just dive on in.
Kick on down to where the fishes swim.
Don’t fight the current, just let yourself go.
Enjoy the bubbles, enjoy the show.
Feel the current on your skin.
Feel the breath you’re holding in.
Collect fishing lures stuck in the rocks.
Stuff periwinkles in a sock.
The river will kill you if your not its’ friend.
If you fight it, you’ll never win.
Look up and see what the fishes see.
Look at the bank and you’ll see me.
Or perhaps yourself (when you were young).

I did see myself when I was young,
but I wondered if that was real.
Maybe that was just a dream
and maybe now is real…
or maybe not.
