MODEL POEM

Gary Snyder’s For All smartly spins the form of the “Pledge of Allegiance” to
declare his loyalty to the land. Using this idea, how might you pledge
allegiance to the broad scientific community or to the rigor and methods that
underlie this work?

For All
Gary Snyder

Ah to be alive
on a mid-September morn
fording a stream
barefoot, pants rolled up,
holding boots, pack on,
sunshine, ice in the shallows,
northern rockies.

Rustle and shimmer of icy creek waters
stones turn underfoot, small and hard as toes
cold nose dripping
singing inside
creek music, heart music,
smell of sun on gravel.
I pledge allegiance

I pledge allegiance to the soil
of Turtle Island,
and to the beings who thereon dwell
one ecosystem
in diversity
under the sun
With joyful interpenetration for all.


from For All by Gary Snyder
