in a talk on water and forest practices
given for a benevolent dining society
yes such things still exist
and do good
and do well
i was digesting the fact that jags come in four wheel drive
the speaker had power points and talked of watersheds
clear cutting he explained
is not only the most efficient of practices
it's the best in terms of arboriculture
and oregon law fines landowners who don't replant
so all those gashes will soon sprout healing saps
when he was done one member's question was prefaced by a declaration
the man said he was going to "go all tea party" on another
was he not, the man began, taking government subsidies in the form of cheap
water for his potatoes
the respondent said everybody likes good french fries
seeking to calm
roil in the waters
the speaker intervened
the watershed which serves portland
he said also receives federal subsidies
not shut up
the tea party fellow waved a trump
he lives in washougal washington
free from city reach and regulation
draws from his very own well
with questions
the conversation moved along while
i regarded the dead chicken's blank-eyed head
which lay untouched on the serving plate
and i wondered if whether we'd be happy with a jag
in green
maybe
suddenly the speaker said to the potato grower that another important thing to
consider was fish
and i thought
yes
that was the best course
this was not what he meant
suckers he said are widely known
to play a very large part
in native american culture
