An Ode to Whitewater Rafting

The best decision I ever made...

There’s folks that run from here to there
With deadlines, stress, and shite
And then there’s some that run their lines
Down waters, black and white…

There’s runners, I have heard some say,
Of rapids, waves and holes
Of haystacks, keepers, lowhead dams,
Of drops and kayak rolls

I ran once, both here and there
With sand and sun and boats-
And traded all those happily
For rivers, moose and floats

Of many things I’ve run or said,
This phrase holds most true:
“The river is truly who I am,
not solely what I do…”

Cel phones? Don’t need ‘em! Palm Pilots? What’s those?
I have all that I need when the Kennebec flows!
