A VOICE

I stepped down to the landing   then saw the beer cans and the trash. I'd hoped the slobs weren't fishermen.   But my sinking heart burned in a flash. Cigarette wrappers and fast food containers   laid dew covered on the ground. I'd hoped the slobs weren't fishermen.   Fishermen wouldn't leave this mess around. Burning embers of a campfire smoldered    the departed party had left behind. I'd hoped the slobs weren't fishermen.   But smoke yet left signals too unkind. Who could have left a mess like this?   I wish I knew which slobs to thank. I'd hoped the slobs weren't fishermen.   Than saw a 'worm can' lying on the bank. Among debris and scattered litter   laid a tangled ball of fishing line. I'd hoped the slobs weren't fishermen.   "They weren't" a voice rang in my mind.
