The past is not dead.

        
Montana’s History Lesson
 

Bulky Pompei’s Pillar

Towers over the Yellowstone Rivering,

A rugged brown bluff

Engraved with historic graffiti

With Clark’s signatured
Declaration still writ large

Behind Plexiglas for us to gawk,

But Lewis ended it all;
Still the icy water courses on

Toward the Big Muddy

Finally down to the Gulf,
Each of us a brief tag

In this

Muddled flow of time.
