Tomorrow

Tomorrow I catch three planes to far, far away places

Washington, Denver and San Jose

Joan Didion and her Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in Hollywood, 1972.

To meet some brand new faces

So I bid fare thee to this fine city

And welcome some natural spaces.

Through wonder, eyes open, a brave new world

before me, a wide open road unfurls

So long skeletons, I know where you'll be 

While I traipse around and find my way to the sea

Lead to the palace of wisdom

'That road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom' 

- Blake
