This is unusually cryptic of you greenmountaineer and don't get me wrong, I love cryptic! Much like a hmmnmm poem. It's a good departure. Can you tell me what it means?

It's based on a Zen koan. If you google "goose in a bottle" I think the elements of the poem come together. PS: "Kills" refers to the Dutch word for creek, a term still common in the area of lower New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

I didn't even need to know what the poem was all about to like it, and I do like it -- very much. It simply reads wonderfully!

A struggle

worth accepting. Your poem was difficult to understand but magnificent once it developed meaning for me.
