Good morning campsite  
Good morning downpour   
Good morning leaking tent  
Good morning mossy teeth  
  
Good morning call-and-repeat songs  
Good morning squealing kids  
Good morning frontal migraine  
Good morning exhausted Leader  
Good morning miles of soaking wet tarp  
  
Good morning ratchet lines   
high above tippy-toe-elevated,   
outstretched fingertips  
  
Good morning   
saturated washcloths   
straining on clothes lines  
  
Good morning soggy muffins  
and sticky paper liners  
peeled and eaten in quiet gratitude  
from damp camping chairs.  
  
Good morning water-logged   
shredded cheese packets   
swimming in red coolers  
  
Good morning well-traveled   
clementines in orange mesh bag  
  
Good morning laminated trail maps   
with rainwater inside  
  
Good morning sleeping rolls,   
yoga mats and air mattresses   
that multiplied overnight  
  
Good morning water bottles   
smeared with grime and grit  
  
Good morning open tailgate   
with rivulets of brown sludge   
dripping into the passenger seats  
  
Good morning scampering Scouts  
sprint-walking across deflated tents   
in hiking boots caked in mud  
  
Good morning toothbrush,   
finally discovered  
  
Good morning troop,   
rain or shine,   
we have each other!
