Poem about Poetry - Poetry chimes

does it flow like a river?
its source in the mountain
chiming a crystal clear sound
since the first rain of creation?

or does it choke like a river
fed by a thousand man made tributaries
that it regurgitates before it could zig zags
its way clumsily out to sea
swarming homes with its rubbish?
