By the River's Edge


by the *river's edge,
a *shock to my senses,
and in a fleeting trance,
a *rebellion grows, inside,
as if it knows, perchance,
my *sandwich of time will
be eaten soon, to fulfill
a soothsayer's prediction

yet, the moon will shine, still
so I *refer to *elegant nature
and *conservation's dance,
for the two can *reproduce
life with *competence
and thrills, and for now,
in my view, nothing's askew
by the *river's edge.
