Trout Fishing in America - Emigrant Lake - Ashland, OR


Dummy

While peddling down a bike lane
an old Ford flashed by
going well over 40 mph
with a truck bed full of people
all standing perfectly straight
wearing gowns and tuxedos!
I snapped my head back and swerved into a dramatic double-take...
Mannequins.

Determination

Early this morning
while running up a long gravel road
with stiff bones and sleepy eyes
I considered walking...

until I noticed a young boy in yellow pajamas
dragging an enormous recycling receptacle
up the world's steepest driveway
with a look of unwavering determination.
