Senior citizens
On an island in the Ohio River
where flood waters sometimes inundate the town
the houses are all built up high above ground level
with lots of steps leading up to risen front porches
and the senior citizens, some of them,
ride merry-go-round horses
when the waters gain too much purchase,
and pretend they're galloping across the waves
