we should go there more often
we used to go there often for inspiration
but when the well ran dry
we hit the road and looked elsewhere
cruising down the highway we listened
to all the greatest hits
asking ourselves repeatedly
where do all the good ones come from
lady luck seemed to be nowhere in sight
so we stopped for a fortnight
at somebody’s cabin
smoking hash and drinking gin
hoping to awaken those rhythmical spirits
we pretended there was a sasquatch
down by the lake patrolling the perimeter
throwing rocks at strangers
from behind the brush
when evening rolled in we started to hum
and strum some simple chords
the earth beneath our feet
beginning to tremble
june two thousand fifteen
