swing down thy axe, o great woodsman
let it drag by your side
to carve a calm river valley
where i am meant to die
and we'll throw rocks at trains
hear their angry whistle as they leave
and watch as the steam billows up
floating meekly to the seams
and when the aeroplane flew by from where we can't see anymore
all my stupid made-up words will turn from smoke into clouds
there's an emancipated gleaming
coming from the other side
of some train tracks in Rutland
near which we spent our time
and on Lake Champlain's cool and misty waters
there's a steamboat singing away
I hope it's singing it's song for me
watch it float off impenetrably
and when the passenger train flew by, it's whistle blaring truthfully
we couldn't hear ourselves thinking so we finally shut the fuck up

crossing the rubicon we sit in your midst
the hills plateau out into nothing that we think we’ll miss
or something we need
something we want to remember
to remember when we are gone
we bivouac’d in dubuque
no cover from the eyes of everything
or no shelter from the end of it.
