The Waterfall

I
Its dark now and you didn't bring a sweatshirt
They brought tents and you don't even have a sweatshirt
The DJ with the jail cell key tucked way up in his dreads had said I saw his set right after mine man he ripped off my sound
He said Oh yeah I know the waterfall when we used to throw parties there man we would rage it out for a couple of days
But it didnt mean what it means to you then to you now that its dark and you dont have a sweatshirt
It didnt mean to you then what it means when its dark and you dont have a tent

A taxi
a bus ride
a walk down the highway
a prearranged meetup
a grocery store quickly
a green haired and beer handed tattooed profanities
knee socks athletic shorts pinup Italian girl
drinking a beer can while driving a four by four
lap sitting
pack fitting
slam slam slam
door door door
speeding and splashing
saluting and laughing
impossible rivers between sloping slivers slivers of dusty black pathways through mountainous greens
thats what the city and you have between
