billy collins - fishing on the susquehanna in july كلمات الأغنية

Loading...

i have never been fishing on the susquehanna
or on any river for that matter
to be perfectly honest

not in july or any month
have i had the pleasure–if it is a pleasure–
of fishing on the susquehanna

i am more likely to be found
in a quiet room like this one–
a painting of a woman on the wall

a bowl of tangerines on the table–
trying to manufacture the sensation
of fishing on the susquehanna

there is little doubt
that others have been fishing
on the susquehanna

rowing upstream in a wooden boat
sliding the oars under the water
then raising them to drip in the light

but the nearest i have ever come to
fishing on the susquehanna
was one afternoon in a museum in philadelphia

when i balanced a little egg of time
in front of a painting
in which that river curled around a bend

under a blue cloud-ruffled sky
dense trees along the banks
and a fellow with a red bandanna

sitting in a small, green
flat-bottom boat
holding the thin whip of a pole

that is something i am unlikely
ever to do, i remember
saying to myself and the person next to me

then i blinked and moved on
to other american scenes
of haystacks, water whitening over rocks

even one of a brown hare
who seemed so wired with alertness
i imagined him springing right out of the frame
