The poem asks 'So what else go do I go tracking the / kids', finds them 'reflecting on the river', hears 'my joy is in death' 'on the T.V.', and says 'the Presedent of the / United States and the boss of / the local saw mill book any / different' and 'It's a horror they are the same'.

Children looking for doubles lead to the speaker's judgment that national and local power look alike. 'go do' and 'book' are overstruck readings that remain provisional.
