New River Path - Gt Amwell

On a slow, heavy waddle, black-necked sentinels with sharp white chinstraps

claim the narrow dirt of the towpath.

They do not rush. They do not yield.

Muttering low guttural complaints to any who try to pass.

They are the kings of this small, grassy stretch of earth.
