For Simon In another life we might have stopped at a point where the road widened jumped out blessed whomever for our crops and the good that it would do danced a wild goodbye to the drought until our shirts were soaked but instead we waved our fists behind the safety of your wipers until we found a small but significant role for water to play in this but as we weaved ourselves north we came to see a weakness in it and we began to wonder how it would handle our growing spirit and what it would do if it felt what we felt when we arrived when the smooth heat of her electric guitar slid down our throats and saw to it that rain was just there to cool our little patch of earth.
