No collection; a stream

were there a lake here
started by beaver or glacier
perhaps there would be an agglomeration
you might understand
and value as a place to lie upon a boat
or cast off a dock
but this is shallow water
and it will not sta(y)gnate
don't expect much from what you see
put your hand in and feel the flow
but you will be collecting great grandchildren
of the first scoop
by the time you take the second
oblique, you may accuse
confounding; the trout don't care
this thing is going somewhere
not waiting
only constantly finding the path
of no resistance
