He traveled to the canyon, br and thought it worth its name br a canvas for the sunset's gleam br to luminesce with flame br br He walked from there to Laughlin, br he gambled with his change br and lost it all to old rich men br who thought him somewhat strange br br He climbed into the Rockies br to soak up nature's balm br was lost three days, but made it out br before he'd lost his calm br br He trudged along the highways, br to cross the rolling plains br was picked up by a trucking man br who taught him sins from stains br br He crossed the Appalachians, br and hiked their wending trails br and when he left their beautied flanks, br saw ocean fraught with sails br br He chanced upon his forebears br in graveyards near New York br then celebrated mortal things br by gambling with the stork br br He sojourned south with patience, br he laughed at simple fun br found love in lonely white sand br and the preachings of the sunbr br Poet Dragonbr br
