February Selection #3

Morning Argument

I see an old
newspaper floating in a mountain
stream; the text
on the last page has bled
through to the text on
the first page, so
the newspaper looks
like it's been read by
the water and the water's
reading of the news has transformed
it into something
blurred, multi-layered and beautiful. If
I look I can make
out phrases and
these phrases are also
beautiful, proving,
again,
that water can
handle everything.
