A Riddle for Southerners
by Emma Schlett
It swallows man-made structures to ensure that man knows its power,
as well as its fellows in nature, just to be sure.
Its path consists of many
unpredictable
twists
and turns. It has no defined destination,
it simply ends where it ends, and man cannot end it.
