Farewell to the city of Portland

Post by creativesoul » March 10th, 2017, 9:40 am

The sound of the city begins at four- the lady accross the street begins her planks-
My dog licks my feet - coffee- the darkness
Diligent in thier routines- my life is about to change
The dog walkers and I must part ways- never has lonely looked so bound and determined to find love
No time left for assholes
This is a story about the elimination of jerks
been around these freezing waters too long
found a warmer spot
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

I happen to have a fond spot in my heart for Portland; it has some good energy going now, at least better than some of the other coastal cities I've been to recently, but yeah, that gloomy climate ...

bounjour astoria
everything I was running from was waiting up ahead
old songs on broken radios never last to long
my life as a jerk
you could make a moovie out of that
infact i think somebody already did steve martin was playing me

Makes waking up a pleasure
Portland is a beautiful city
Lots of interesting people

But the gray skies have me screaming for release
If I broke my lease it would be 5 grande

Thank goodness I'm done

Thank goodness the moon woke me up
Now I see the beauty
Too late
Gotta go
I
I cannot breathe
I want to spend time with my sons and thier girlfriends
Before I check out of this planetary hotel

blessed to be away from the conflict where the tumbleweeds and roadrunners congregate
i love the diversity
yes here in the desert
i have wild friends here
the t v show portlandia is the best portland can do
yes there are lovely people there-
but the rivers are dirty and you cannot swim in them
