LAYING IN
I'VE SCRUBBED THE BUGS OUT OF THE GRILL,
I'VE WASHED THE DESERT DUST FROM THE WHEEL WELL.
SAW THE PAINT CHIPS FROM THAT TIME IN THE GRAVEL…
BABY, IT LOOKS LIKE SUMMER IS OVER
LET'S LAY IN FOR THE WINTER
AND TAKE A BREAK FROM TRAVEL.
STORIES, AND PICTURES, GOD KNOWS, PICTURES
FROM THE DONNER PASS TO THE IOWA BUTTES
TO THE RESTFUL MICHIGAN LAKE
BUCKING THE WIND, RUSHING INTO THE FIRE
COMING HOME FOR AUTUMN AND WINTER
IN THE SPRING WE WILL AWAKE.
THE SUN WILL ARRIVE ONE APRIL MORNING
THE HANKERING WILL START TO COMMENCE
THE DAY TRIPS BECOME LONGER
THE DESIRE TO CLIMB THEM MOUNTAINS
SURVIVE THAT RAINSTORM
RATION THE WATER
AND SEE THE SUNSET ON A FAR HORIZON
RETURNS.
"I'VE NEVER BEEN TO VERMONT
OR SOUTH CAROLINA, EITHER."
