The Dammed (exerpt)
Editor:
There is a line
You can never step on twice
Where the Duwamish runs Green
The Puyallup Stuck White
The Cedar
Falls
Where barracuda go to die
But salmon leap
To spawn forever
In the dreams
Of the dammed

Kent Auburn, private eye
Kang Lee, his man
Bonney Lake, the fiancee
Until Sumner
Came his way
The karaoke keystones
Cumberland, Kummer
And Krain
And Renton
That Renton
Whose Barbee Mill
Was one prime thrill
Of a woman
Or so she seemed
Al Gona, The Gopher
Joe Vita, The Muscle
Glen Dale, Boy Wonder
Kenny Dale, The Blunder
And Veazie?
Yeah, Veazie
