In the town of Bend, Oregon there are rowhome apartments
Between a birth center and a funeral home
I spent two years trying to figure my place there
I'd flip through famous books of poetry
But nothing ever spoke to me
I've stood there too, my knees were dry
Muddying the water won't convince me it's deeper
Now I live in Seattle across the street from a park
Sometimes people get shot there so I don't walk after dark
But the rent gets paid so I'm ok, it's not quite San Francisco
But eventually I'll probably have to leave and be replaced by a techie
But I can't see over the horizon
Sometimes I think that I'll never reach the sun
I've been five me's since the last time I saw you
And I have to wonder if this is the best one
When you taught school in Korea were you afraid of the bomb?
Did you connect with your soul there? Did you forget everyone?
Frat Paul's at Columbia Law, Erik's working at the EPA
Dennis went to Memphis for TFA, now he lives out in BK
I haven't been East since 2016, but I'm trying to make it out this fall
To see the changing leaves from my memories blazing like a fireball
Igniting the tip of the horizon
And tumbling into the sea of hills below
Erasing all the green that came before it
I am envious, but at the same time I don't know
Last time we spoke I lied
I didn't lose my phone that night
