When is a ditch not a ditch? When it claims its exotic Amazon roots. If it flows long and hard enough, it may even reach the ocean.
The drainage ditch rages
Out back,
Splits its edges.
It holds aspirations
Of exotic proportions.
It claims kinship
With the Amazon
The Nile.
It flows with so many new
River thoughts.
What can it be thinking?
It is a drainage ditch
After all,
Not some river in South America;
Not a tributary
In Africa
Flowing fully
To the ocean.
The sky splits with thunder
In response.
The ditch
No longer a mere ditch
Rages.
