Chem Trailing

"Chem Trailing": A Lyric Poem


After the bubbling and the burning
The Point of Lobos trees are turning
Blighted by the sentence that waves on the wind
To clean the gas spilled in the Monterey Bay

~ Back in and in on this way all around
~ Falling Super Superfund bacteria crowd
~ The shore in the stores of the literal dream
~ Because the letter of the law is made for breaking

If we breathe and fall into the hunger
Creating symptoms of a cold till under
The false illusion that there are people we don't need
And making the people sick is just a costly extreme

Nothing is as strange as a pine bleeding from the pores
Much like we did the next day from our nose
Weeping beyond the body's mind out zone
Over the edge of all we really know

Can we remember and can we recall
That the Basin so Big it's trees almost did fall
But the last few years they've return and it is
A shame that the programs of serdp near Carmel have hit
