Valley Drive (A Bildungsroman)
And you drive through the valley
Through the dogwoods overgrown
The turns etched in your memory
A hawk's wingspan darkens the road
And this should have been your sanctuary
And maybe it was for you alone
But so at odds with your proclivities
The vibe was off, so you moved on
Into the cities and into rhapsodies
Into the dens of blessed impropriety
And in a room filled to capacity
Somewhere in the noise and in the drone
You heard that valley song
And you hummed along
And this is no great American tragedy
It's just another story about a boy who wandered
Far from home
Through the dogwoods overgrown
The turns etched in your memory
A hawk's wingspan darkens the road
And this should have been your sanctuary
And maybe it was for you alone
But so at odds with your proclivities
The vibe was off, so you moved on
Into the cities and into rhapsodies
Into the dens of blessed impropriety
And in a room filled to capacity
Somewhere in the noise and in the drone
You heard that valley song
And you hummed along
And this is no great American tragedy
It's just another story about a boy who wandered
Far from home
