DREDGING ST. FRANCIS SOUND
The animals have all come home,
dragging their wounds now behind
them : a broken leg, some flesh
exposed, a swollen muscle or a
bleeding paw. We aren't sure what
happened : a volcano exposure?
Dust and ask? Or more. We just
keep working on - the shovels
and the drags are scrubbing right
now the riverbed floor at the old
Walnut Street Bridge. Everything
is still open, for cars and bicycles,
walkers, and trucks. Deliveries,
ambulances,etc. The all-night
kleig lights stay on, as if some
Led Zepplin concert at dawn
It's funny like that, how such
ideas resonate. I once saw, and
right here too, a Burt Reynolds
billboard, for one of those daredevil
car movies he made with that woman.
I forget her name as well, but it all
just rolls on, and 40 years later.
Time to kill, and nothing to sell.
