Desert Call

Going Home

AD
Desert Call

A vacant expanse
Sand, brush
Animals
Four legs, two legs, no legs
The wild

Exposed to the elements
Middle of nowhere
Middle of nothing
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Dull, boring
Life in a desert town

Save the money
First bus out
Buildings for mountains
Antennas for peaks
Freeways for rolling streams
Noise, excitement, change
Always new, never old
The wild

Don't blink or you'll miss it
Don't sleep or you'll miss it
Nothing constant, nothing lingers
Life in the big city

Tiresome it grows
The howl of the coyote
Haunts the dreams
The sirens of the street
Haunt the days

Forget the money
First plane out
Lexus for Chevy
Armani for Wrangler
Suit for boots
Comfortably stagnant
Dependable, eternal
