I have never been fishing on the Susquehanna	A
or on any river for that matter	B
to be perfectly honest	C
	-
Not in July or any month	D
have I had the pleasure if it is a pleasure	B
of fishing on the Susquehanna	A
	-
I am more likely to be found	E
in a quiet room like this one	F
a painting of a woman on the wall	G
	-
a bowl of tangerines on the table	H
trying to manufacture the sensation	F
of fishing on the Susquehanna	A
	-
There is little doubt	I
that others have been fishing	J
on the Susquehanna	A
	-
rowing upstream in a wooden boat	K
sliding the oars under the water	B
then raising them to drip in the light	L
	-
But the nearest I have ever come to	M
fishing on the Susquehanna	A
was one afternoon in a museum in Philadelphia	A
	-
when I balanced a little egg of time	N
in front of a painting	J
in which that river curled around a bend	O
	-
under a blue cloud ruffled sky	P
dense trees along the banks	Q
and a fellow with a red bandana	A
	-
sitting in a small green	R
flat bottom boat	K
holding the thin whip of a pole	S
	-
That is something I am unlikely	T
ever to do I remember	B
saying to myself and the person next to me	T
	-
Then I blinked and moved on	U
to other American scenes	V
of haystacks water whitening over rocks	W
	-
even one of a brown hare	X
who seemed so wired with alertness	Y
I imagined him springing right out of the frame	Z
