RIVER RELIGION

Some people channel

Deepthink the riverflow

stay out of the rocky

Ripple-driven shallows.

No limbs or laterals

They stay with the mainwater

As if it were a matter

Of morals not a mosaic

Of undeclared principals:

Laptime, swirls & eddies.

It's right to be centered

No wrinkles like bad skinfit

No assortment of illusions

On memory's rack.

The faithful raft not to drown

Find the safest way down

Jujuing watergods

With bottomless hope

& never-ending fear.

All camptalk & riverrhetoric

As if it were homilies

Not hydraulics that got them here.

The sinner, save his soul

Is out there somewhere

Playing in a hole.

--William Studebaker
