MONDAY ON THE MISSISSIPPI

(excerpt)

Monday on the Mississippi
Lake Itasca, Minnesota

A little lake among so many lakes.
A little stream among so many streams.
A little girl wiggles her toes
in the shallow water and wonders,
How long before we’re big and strong, little Mississipi?
How many miles? How many days?
