son
got an invite
to a party
3pm to 6pm right after school
tough for me to get him there
so
I call up the mom
how bout a ride for my kid
I’ll pick him up
then got a little anxious
don’t know these people
here take my kid what if….
so I call up the teacher whom I adore
as does my kid
as does the world
and I say
what about these people they cool
ahhhh the best no worries
I’d give em my own
so off he goes happy as a clam
skateboard and gift in hand
and I’m still a bit anxious
you just never know
directions in hand I set off to find my boy
messed up once
always mess up at least once
on track I’m out in the middle of nowhere
Steinbeck Country
East of Eden
and I can’t believe how beautiful it is
and my daughter says
here this gate turn here
and we follow a paved road
past a barn a cattle guard
and I know
that I am in heaven
little valley
gentle hills
green and soft and covered in wildflowers
and the horses are standing a foot from my car
and I wana stay here
I want to wake up everyday
and see this
a perfect picture truly eden
and my boy bounces up to the car
smiling you found it
laughing jumps in
do you want to live here mom
yeah who wouldn’t
but I’d have to sell a hell
of a lot of books
babe
a hell of a lot
