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

II

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
