(WHY MY DAD LOVES) LEWIS & CLARK

In Wenatchee famous apples
still wink like ornaments

Green-gold, light lime, and fire
dripping down the branch

They walked along the mountainside,
with rafts above their hats

Until they found
a river

And what is that,
a river?

Free ticket
to the sea

For we cross land
most all the time,

Write “fuck”in ballpoint cursive,
when opportunity attacks

The strength of
any river,

Casts murky doubt, desire
toward the grassy bank.
