Just A Skimmer

Just a skimmer
flitting around the home pond
just a skimmer
...dipping here and darting there
weaving through the pussy willows
breezing over the lily pads
in its flighty zippidy-doo-dah manner
flipping back and forth
like life is a boring book
whose pages can be leafed through
and only the occasional word be read
.
Just a skimmer
...rushing here and there
and back and forth
to get the lay of the land
in general
not going deep
where seaweeds grow tall and tangled
where the big-mouthed fish lay in wait
just a skimmer sticking to the shallows
skating over the context
tripping lightly over the issues
like a rock sent skipping over the water
.
