Stowaway (from Glen)

Far from the river,
over a hundred mile,
the rhythm of the water
seems near. He listens.

Nodding and tapping time
to a blues record. Horns and huzzahs
ring in clean ripples
through the dark, and fireflies

float close outside.
The dark disc turns on its player
like a paddlewheel
thrashing brown water.
