clinton's pitch

about that scouring
its just up to the hern now
hungry in shallow water
they pulled the plug at the other

end of the river
the invasive ospery
swoops spraying feces and malcontent
on the tern
and even the black cormorant is lack lustre
in this state.
those others they come on
rafts running international flags
zebra striped, hired mussels wielding razors
here to turn out carpetbags
full of gobies 
that swim and teem and froth and gobble
in this now tributary of clinton's ditch
