Youth and broken glass
Smearing Highway 101:
Other cars just pass...

“Journeys”

I reread “Grapes of Wrath”

Today,

Then went to El Paso

And stared at the wall....

From Buffalo to San Francisco, 
from Fargo to El Paso, 
you don't need the tobacco. 
It has got to go.
Give it the heave ho.

Back seat of a ‘56 Chevy
White with baby blue trim
Cruising out of El Paso town 
Headed to the City of Angels
Glorious west-bound sunrise
Static, crackling AM station
Day Tripper on the radio...

Back seat of a '56 Chevy
White with baby blue trim
Cruising out of El Paso town 
Headed to the City of Angels
She’s fast asleep on my lap

Glorious western sunrise
Static, crackling AM station

Long time ago in town of El Paso 
there's a handsome cowboy named Hunter Joe.
Charming as Buffalo Bill,
his mere looks could even kill; 
Ladies flocked him like a wild Wild West show.

Cada paso que demos
será un año en nuestra vida,
lo tomaremos como un lento vals
desde el que poseernos
            sin otro tempo
que la fijación de nuestras miradas
y las vueltas caprichosas de los anhelos.
            Sobre todas las cosas,
las vueltas caprichosas de los anhelos....

Por favor coje mi mano
coje la coje la
bailemos al ritmo de tu corazon

un paso, dos paso
avanzar y retroceder
escucha la musica de nuestro amor

susten  me cerca de tu corazon
me gustaria quedarme aqui para siempre

olvidamos el mundo y...

bailemos al ritmo de tu corazon
un paso, dos paso
bailemos, bailemos....

Yo Steve-0
?Que paso?

You are rich and famous
I am a pauper

People love your words.
They abhor mine.

You will never want to
sit down for a second
and talk with me.

Because your better man. Like Eddie Vedder, man.
and I would guess that you know it.

I never read your books.
They make me sick from 
the compulsion you show....

We have them talking fireflies back home in the Piney Woods.  They talk as sure as I'm talking to you now.  They also laugh, and sing, and make love.  And they ride these little horses.  On full moons they have cotillions, and fireflies come from as far away as El Paso.  They light up the bayou all the way to Lake Pontchartrain.  They put on a good rodeo too.  And they ride these little horses....
