(northwest arizona)

the northwest corner of arizona

(northwest arizona)

might have been made by brutish giants

(northwest arizona)

out of driveway gravel

(mojave)

the mojave is hell on our spent patience

(mojave)

and the only relief on this road

(las vegas)

is the horror of las vegas

(las vegas)

the city for whom the word slut was coined

(las vegas)

but a century of people

(las vegas)

saw palms in the rocks

(california)

and hummingbirds in the heat

(california)

the pacific called across the desert

(california)

offering gold and bikinis

(california)

and they went seeking ever westward

(california)

where the sun plunges into the ocean

(california)

like a sunburned blonde into a swimming pool

(california)

there we'll make a life

(california)

driving around not driving across

(california)

and when you ask, shall we go farther

(california)

i'll answer no

(california)

we're here
