Hello from 30,000

Hello!
Hello from 30,000,
It was very nice to see you

It was very nice to splash around your riverbed and
Lay out on your sandbar,
To make a brief connection with your curves,
To grab a picnic lunch in the green glade
In the shade of the trees on your banks
On Sundee morning.

Hello from 30,000,
I’ve left on a jet
And I know you know how much I love you,
And I know you know how much I love Lyle Lovett references,
We said goodbye and everything else
And hugged and kissed
And I thought about you as I walked through the security terminal
And you thought about me as you drove back to your apartment.

Hello from 30,000,
Praise God for the slow rivers
In middle America that remind me of you.

Praise God for you,
And cool water like whiskey,
And trees, and shade, and turkey sandwiches,
And the next time.

Share!
