we were never caught br br we partied the southwest, smoked it from L.A. to El Dorado br worked odd jobs between delusions of escape br drunk on the admonitions of parents, parsons & professors br driving faster than the road or law allowed. br our high-pitched laughter was young, heartless & disrespected br authority. we could be heard for miles in the night br br the Grand Canyon of a new manhood. br womanhood discovered br like the first sighting of Mount Wilson br br we rebelled against the southwestern wind br br we got so naturally ripped, we sprouted wings, br crashed parties on the moon, and howled at the earth br br we lived off love.
