METAPHOR
Like a toothpick on a mammoth river,
I have no say in where I’ll go.
I think I know where I’ll end up.
A tiny sliver on a massive torrent-
I will not sink, though I may tangle
With another floating twig
And find me carried in its direction
Whether that be to the salty ocean
Or washed up on a riverbank.
I’ll fetch up where the current puts me-
There’s no arguing with life
Or the mighty Columbia River.

Life too often refuses to give me the final say.
