This pond is the lees of green tea floating past sandbars of
the Rio Grande, past a drying Great Salt Lake. As the Gulf's
oily brine invades the fresh waters of the Mississippi. Clear
Lake is blooming blue-green of aglae and red from the day
the US Army slaughtered native people on "Bloody Island."

A slight change in direction foreshadows
a gone world in which texts = textures, or
the ripple effect of revelation.

As "All rivers join The River of the Dead," drinking from
a plastic cup that floated in, Poseidon was poisoned by
the Aegean Sea.
