Looks Like Tacoma Down There

from Vector 23 by Joseph Airport

/

lyrics

Wrinkled green
Blanket terrain
Thrown across the below
He knows it
He studied it

He Braille-touched the contours
Palpated pine pips and alpine ridges

He says
“It’s only a 20-minute drive to McChord”

He’s pacific and reserved
His ebb and flow
Even out in the riptide

Mr. Cooper only wants what’s fair
“It looks like Tacoma down there”

Not of all the dollars
Just a few
He says
“Bring extra meals for the crew”

He waits ten extra minutes
For the sake
Of not ending up drowned
In Merwin Lake
In the end
Left with no option
But freefall in air

“Looks like Tacoma down there”

"... An eccentric, zany little album whose catchy tunes and peculiar lyrics can put a grin on your face." —The Fire Note
