Tubing the Delaware

(Summer 2012)

We were at the campground to tube

but decided to check out the arcade

Inside, you could play the skill crane for a dollar a try

and win a Kennedy fifty-cent piece—

still in circulation

On the water, a purple mini Moleskin notebook

was my security blanket while the water carried me wherever

it desired, and I watched the landscape shift

like a slowly changing Inness oil painting

that the artist kept deciding was never

quite finished
