above idaho falls
rolling steady
like a quiet wave
predictable
     unlike blood
     & chemistry
at the valley hospital
refusing logic
more variables
still to be defined
it's hard to see beyond the falls
odd metaphors
override the olympic games
     even with the brits
     timely touting
     their national health system
     in the opening ceremonies
and marina silva lending
her open amazon hands
to carry the olympic flag
wind and sun
will bring us home
     eventually
beyond the reaches 
of this atomic desert
scattered forests
indomitable snake river
     we find wet green brush
          our compass
