Conjunction
In the corner near where
Highway 10 and 321 cross,
Beside the park the city
Of Newton built,
The Henry and Jacob Forks
Meet in a sandy-bottomed
Green pastured paradise
To form the South Fork
Of the Catawba River.
After every winding turn
You can think of,
After passing abandoned mills,
Farms and parks,
Some people say that
The Henry becomes
A part of the Jacob,
Others who believe
That the Henry somehow
Gets there first every day,
See it all the other way.
