I wrote this at the Unity Street Park
overlooking the river.

The Androscoggin River
in high spring exuberance
laughing and gurgling
and schussing
drowns out the cars
going by like toys,
and the jet
unzipping the blue
sweater of the sky,
and the humming
of the leaf buds
fat and bursting,
and the dying groans
of goldenrod
skeletons.
The world is a pantomime,
my ears full of raging water.

The world really is a pantomime. We each interpret it in our own way.
