The creek still runs dry,
spends itself as it shrinks upstream
on oaks and sycamores
despite the goosenecks,
despite the cowboys
hauling calves to town—
despite the busloads,
despite the caravans
of weekend Christians
looking for God in the pines.
The County had to move the road
after the Flood of ’55
and rebuilt bridges in ‘69
where the canyon narrows
and the creek runs dry.
Still talk of a dam
every election year
as if it could make water.

Thanks George. Just plugged “Bodark County” in a comment this morning responding to a poem by Robert Okjai, “Dickinson, Texas”.

Yes, all true at large and small scale………. dealing with self delusion on our ditch……its all a variation on the same theme.
