Of Wire and Brimstone
I travelled to Georgia to see if I could learn to split wires
They said I needed to learn the old school uppercut
Just to get the gears working
The sun was blazing into the cauldron of my mind
So I waited for the moon
She whispered sweet secrets about sacred filament
I took a bus to Montana
To make a dollar and see the sights
The man in black twisted my dreams
So I cracked under the starry sky
My feet would learn the meaning of many miles
Before recalling the rhymes that led back home
I walked under the bridge by the river
To find the woman who sings to the sea
She said to travel to Georgia and learn to split wires
So I picked up my walking stick
And headed south
The distant breeze of awe and ache trembled beneath my feet
I will come to know the space between the great gap
I will fill it with potential
I will travel to Georgia
And I will split a wire
Like a loose end of a tall tale
That could settle matters for awhile
