There’s something about how a river

weathers away stone until it crumbles...

I wonder if the rocks ever fight back.

I know rivers

who flow without care

and shave off the skin and bone of those they pass

Sometimes, I avoid the rivers

and stick to the safety of the dirt and the trees

But if we must interact

I bring my pooch with me

to stomp across their dirtied water

I think we all have "rivers" in our lives, but how we deal with them differs.
