As good

Does the bird nest in the curve of the 's" 
Of the bright red Marshalls Home Goods billboard
And think
This is as good as my tree
Does the black bear climb the telephone pole
Clutch to the mass of wires and panels and thing
This
This is as good as my forest

Does the otter that slithers under the chain link
Towards the city pool in the dark of night
And paddle lazy circles in the chlorine, hunting dropped hairties and goggles
Think
This is as good as my river

    It was just a fluke that I happened to see

    The ghost of a girl in 1893

    A spirit was not something that I had wanted

    Did you know that, when you read me, I am made of memories
