ANY LUCK?


After getting shut-out yet again on the Lower Yuba, I admire the moonrise with fisher-lawyer David Abelson. Dave asks me a question taken straight from my poem, Asked A Philosophical Question While Fishing Off Paradise Beach:

"Any luck?"


I answer with the poem's last lines:

"How to answer? In a world of achievement, I have no fish."
