HUCK & JIM ON THE MISSISSIPPI

Used with permission
Like snow and ice cutting
them down
With a cold Norwegian stare
They roamed the sidewalks
arm in arm
A bold, flamboyant pair
On the crowded streets,
still alone
Like rafters on the float
Gliding down the great wide
river
From the glaciers to the
gulf coast
Run away from the banks of
the Mississippi
To the promise of Castro
street
To the city lights and north
beaches
Where the kindred spirits
meet
no more freezing in silence
from a provincial attitude
In the snowbound taverns
Ignorance, not really rude
HUCK & JIM ran away
From the ties that bind
HUCK & JIM ran away
Left the Mississippi behind
