and—filthy
diesel barge
pulling
slowly
coal
rough and
shabby down
the Cal-Sag
Channel
is
—I'm sorry
but—
a lot
like you.
Each
day dragging
colossal
power sources
thankless to
outlying forces—and
perpetually
crossing
bridges—
underneath!
instead of
over, and so
brilliantly
perpendicular!—to the
way
in which everyone
else does.
