Passaic

The water wolves are hiding beneath the flooded ridges and valleys of timber and 

Amongst the dead branches and bones of old lawn chairs bob basketballs and pre-pierced needles 

And the fumes from the refinery that droops and seeps into their gaping maws 

That cause the melancholic squonkish tear duct that exists in every pickerel 

They don't care, they just sit back into their twisted, matted nests and 

Wait... wait... wait... 

Until that false sense of urgency slices through like a filet knife through y-bone 

Clattering along the bumpy baby-blue sky-blue life-blue road 

Water wolves can't make up their mind, play with their food, half the time snatch it out of the waiter's hand before it even reaches the table 

And the other half of the time that false urgency halts 

Like it did in white-tail fawn who spooked from the brush pile upon my approach
