The Great Flood of ‘25
I’m not leaving I’m just going to watch the rain
Besides there are no more trains to catch
Except for the occasional rental car that’ll lead you to
A warm room in a strange deserted city surrounded by
Words and friends and bad food and laughter
All of which conspire to recharge your creative gizzard
Send you home ready to do the work
And when you do you’ll be happy to find
That there’s a crack in the dam of words again
Tim Murray (b. 1977) was conceived, born, raised, and resides in the 219.
