Don't just stare at me, come take a dive.
Don't just wonder of my depth, come look.
Don't just ponder on your thoughts making poetry,
Instead soak your feet and taste me...

For I have been flowing through this town long before
Your Grandfather sat on the banks and counted his quarters.

I wont hurt you. Come play with me,
I gleam, I shine, I quench.
I am the River that has been flowing
Through your town
Even when James counted his Quarters.
