Our Affair with Neda

The KOA Campers of Masa Verde

All gray & slagged with sleep

It’s a long walk to the clean

brightly lit

warm seats

of flush toilets

and piped in top 40 hits

      from the 60’s

Its a long walk

Nothing is convenient

   The urinal is too bright

           we are spoiled rotten just to be here

We are born crying

Nothing is convenient

Nothing is easy

when you’re old

No matter how organized we get

or how well dressed we become

We are all naked cliff dwellers camping out back at the source of our adventure.
