Fiend or Foe

On Monday I was trying to catch the ferry to the West Bank and I thought I saw something by Decatur but then wasn't sure. It was like a vision of something that used to be there but wasn't the exact way I remembered it anymore.

While I was crossing the river, I randomly thought about Macbeth, about how he is visited by Banquo's ghost, then, a free association of words came to my mind: fiend or foe, chance or causality. All that in just a crossing of that seemingly passive, yet wild waters of the Mississippi river.
