Days Rush by, as the Trout Swims
Up, Further up.
Always rolling the boulder
I watch them swim,Â
Faster and Farther
Weeks blur by, the fish swim.
Jumping into Bears mouths',
Eating an Angler's lure,
Still, Marching forward.
I watch them pass me by
Swimming up the murk,
Bored back again.
I don't remember the last time I swam.
