Falls

the water sweeps over the rocks 
one tree peers tentatively over the edge 
at the top 
a pool at bottom - looks deep 
she sits on a blanket 
opening a lunch basket 
blinking her eyes at you 
seeming nude in spirit 
if not in fact 
you're reminded of something 
high cultural 
but who needs high culture 
when a bird wheels away 
with a joy you'll never know? 
one cloud dots the sky 
with chubby insolence 
as if to say 
"here I am, bud!" 
and a Yank gets out of his car, 
says,"what you going?" 
and you say "nothing" 
because nothing is what is going on 
nothing is all you need 
you could fall into the sky 
sink to the bottom of the pond 
and a dog spills out of the 
Yank's car 
and sniffs the green 
garbage can.....
