we were just watching t.v wooden cover 1980
in the pine log cabin with large double glass windows
above the flatlands the wilderness watches us
high in the mountains above the snowline
Dusk smiles watching the invisible ghouls watch us
Through those big windows soon the snow flurries will cover the road
The illusion of safety the complacence of youth
Step out onto the narrow concrete slab
cigarette now wafting a drag and a rest then another
The other kids want to join and be part of the adult imitating
The air still at forty, no thick jackets or hats yet
The butt gets pushed against the concrete
back to the beanbags to watch vhs
as the reception doesn't exist up here
Sky now dark lights go on
illusion of safety
complacence of youth
