Flood<\/h2>\n

Beyond the Banks<\/h3>\n

Thoughts by brooks and rivers and streams.<\/span>
\n<\/span>What is all this writing and thinking?<\/span><\/p>\n

Long had there been no theme so despised<\/span>
\n<\/span>That searching the edges, the seams, the hems<\/span>
\n<\/span>Gave such occasion to wander in thought.<\/span><\/p>\n

We brought a little order to chaos.<\/span>
\n<\/span>We hope you may laugh at it sometime,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Even if perhaps you are being teased.<\/span><\/p>\n

And you ask yourself what it resembles.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Just now something has reached us from the North:<\/span>
\n<\/span>Again we must search for head and tail.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been a while since we heard it,<\/span>
\n<\/span>But it most resembles a bearded joke.<\/span>
\n<\/span>No worry\u2014we stand ready with straitjacket and cords.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
