in mockery, pool stagnant
begs to be led to any tumultuous moving
as the noon day sun canopies milky shadingdespite the doldrums un-aroused
Han waters never reverse upstream
unlike navigable canals
with mule teams pulling barges through locks
with glimmering teeth skyward gleaming
though through putrid surroundings it doesn't dry up in riverbed ruts
for the weather's always changing
in the strait ahead
when the world disguises you as an open seweregrets cannot be fooled
they penetrates its glassy surface
they patrol their bounty gaining eyes
growing fins and filtering gills
when timelessness beckonsegrets will be fulfilled
as naked belly laborers languish siesta
they swoop to natural correctness
restless
and bore through stinky thick air
as landscapes are broken down
