Chatahoochie Territory

Chatahoochie territory
where airboat trails
wind like vines
through the everglades
and Indians summoning tourists
to a taste of primativism
bind themselves to antiquity
like milestones
on the trail of time.
Thus do they order the future
with more of the past
with only the hope
of failing memory
to bring new experience.

Strange how creativity
manipulates the past
through the present
and into the future.

I like the way you brought everything together in time. I remember visiting Chattahootchie years ago. Thanks for the visit.

The nostalgia in your mind is made clear in your words.

Joe:

Interesting, how someplaces can stand inbetween then and now...and take you back for a time..then leave you with now.

Enjoyed lines below especially in this very interesting poem:

"bind themselves to antiquity
like milestones
on the trail of time."
