porch songs

we sang porch songs, like we were rock stars, we drank cheap beer and tried to make it last. then it was back in the car, the coast to the cornfields, maybe we were just looking for something else to call ourselves. rest stop coffee, postcards back home, back seat scenes of strange towns, keep driving on, keep driving on. in the middle of the night, we took a wrong turn, ended up on a mountain in the pine trees and the moonlit earth. oh the scattered light, a photograph in mind, of a summer day, squinting at the sun, it’s a warm stone, that i carry along. you know i, you know that i, i’ve been saving quarters, for the toll roads, we can pack the car tonight, we can leave town tomorrow, put me on a porch swing, out in portland, put me on an f train, roll me back into brooklyn. well we closed the bars, like we were cowboys and then we wrote our names in the dirt by the side of the road. and october came and the winter drew near with the cold fingers digging in under the ribs, but we were campfire girls and we were kicking up the leaves and we returned to our jobs with our clothes smelling of wood-smoke. the scattered light…
