River bank
ensconced
An old
man
Mind
encapsulated
In
water flow
Time
mantra...
Two
River Rats
Defiantly
Dealing
dope...
An eight
year old
boy
Determinedly
Skips
stones...
His parents
huddling
Nervously
On
a blanket...
A blonde
girl
With
naked
(near
perfect)
Breasts
Radiates
Under
the Sun...
The local
guitar
player
(actually
bootlegging)
Jumbles
chords
Dexterously.
The old
man
Stretches
his stiff
frame
Leans
his back
Against
A tree
and
Sleeps:-
His dreams
Visibly
unsettling
In
The used
To be.
