twelve
thousand miles
from the ohio
river
to chaweng
beach
& mae nam
bay
it seems like
more than one
lifetime
or the great
north woods
at the
headwaters
of the
mississippi
anishinaabe
and ojibwe land
where blue
heron keeps watch
against all
odds
the bananas
peddled
as the boats
land
at na thon
harbor
the farang
get antsy
the tuk tuks
speed away
loaded
there are
still wobblies
in leadville
a freedom
train
is not easily
derailed
you can still
cut your teeth
like rocky
mountain granite
this time of
year
the leaves
drink
at ground
level
before
feeding the earth
the
alleghenies holler
and head for
cover
