SOME RIVERS
Some rivers rush to the sea.
They push and tumble and fall.
But the Everglades is a river
with
no hurry in her at all.
Soaking the cypress
that grows so tall;
nursing a frog,
so quiet and small;
she flows
but a mile
in the course of a day,
with plenty of time
to think on the way.
But how can she cope
with the acres
of corn
and sorrowful cities that drain her?
With hunters and tourists and levees
that chain and stain and pain her?
Does
the half of her that's left
think only of the past?
Or does she think of her future
and how long it will last?
Some
rivers rush to the sea.
They push and tumble and fall.
But the Everglades is a river
with no hurry in her at all.
