Yellowstone NP
is the ideal for the
social media devotee
although it has wild
untold depths,
isolated crooks and crannies,
roaming beats
and wondering paths
it also
has a system of roads
that directly abut
it's most majestic offerings
where one can easily
diminish Nature's glory
through the dull narcissistic ease
of instagram
the goal is not experience
but the performance of experience
and at Yellowstone NP
it's ease of use is exploited.
Wolves
The wolf
trotted down the road
oblivious
to the gawking humans
intent
one has to assume
on blood
or
a nap.
The Hanging Spine
Hiking out to Cascade Lake
we came upon a flat white spine
affixed upon a fallen tree
and besides the power of the image
two thoughts struck
first, who hung it
what hiker spotted
this series of cartilage and bone
either on the path or beside it
and decided 'this must be displayed
for my fellow travelers!'
second, what or who killed this creature
was it bear of wolf or disease
if killed and consumed
which seems most likely
what a primordial clash
it must have been.
But from the silent bones
one can only guess.
Continent
I need to poop
but can't.
Oh god.
