poetry by j matthew waters

fish hatcheries & conspiracy theories


they released 2000 rainbow trout
in liberty pond the other day
an event unintentionally clandestine

I looked it up myself after the fact
having been preannounced by the
department of natural resources

there is no conspiracy to be found here
but merely an opportunity
what with an ultra-light rod & tackle box
tidily packed in the corner of my trunk


april two thousand twenty-four
