Lakes in Wisconsin

And we were standing
on the shore of a lake
in Minnesota
playing on the beach –
my wife, my daughter and I.
Every hour on the hour
we had to get out
of the water,
and every five minutes
airplanes would fly
over our heads.
I thought about it.
How could we possibly
have ended up here,
so close
to these monsters’
nest,
and we’re playing on the beach
on top of everything?
