Minocqua
sour old Minocqua ghosts
laugh at Jason on the playground
mortal Jason chained to boulders
who tries in vain to climb
on monkey bars though he's out
of shape and it's not easy to
pull yourself up when you're mortal
and weigh 200 pounds
even the oaks know their place
but the deer must gallop onward
and ghosts no longer understand
the tantalizing urge
of escaping gravity

and indeed there will be time to write
