Poor Memory Afternoon
(Wallowa River, Minam Canyon)
I can never remember what they call you -
But you look like a loon, and you float on the river like you own it.
Begins with a … begins with a … Where’s the darn book?
I know it’s with the ducks. I know it is.
Page, page, page… how could I forget? Male merganser;
poor memory afternoon.
