A Lake Level View
Standing in a small boat
on one of the Great Lakes
the early morning sunrise having
turned into a cloudless new day.
Shoreline behind me, mostly trees,
some houses, a large park
that was once a factory
and water as far as I can see.
It was a matter of perspective
this view I enjoyed
the birds and ducks could see further
while planes overhead could see for miles.
and I had my lake level view
Fish came to the surface
a piece of drift wood floated nearby
a plastics bottle (ugh!) moved with the current
another boat trolled near with two men aboard.
and I had my lake level view
A seagull landed near us
hoping for a fishy handout?
While my uncle and I talked of nothing specific,
worms, seaweed and another lost fish.
and I had my lake level view
