Life by Rheotaxis
by Wesley Houp
You were never a teacher,
always a pupil.
The only teachers you have
are the ones without words.
The only teacher on earth
is the earth.
Better to be humanly dumb
and earthly wise.
This I learned from Naiads,
water's lecturers.
Their lesson, slow
and oppositional,
does not instruct us to push on
but always to go back.
