Curiosity remains

She really was exotic
with a Luftwaffe name
a grown-up hippie look
a teacher attitude
already just a face
in a million other faces
ywt she seemed important
for a very, very short while

someone please explain
to the pennsylvania woman
that she had to make
the best of it

She was not fit for the job
and tho' this might make her blue
fakers and pretenders
just won't do

down here at the end of the world
the air is thick and dense
she ain't got used to it
she's very far from home now
it's hard to recall the woods
on the atlantic shore
a mountain for an old church
a river for an alley
a kind of bargain like this
is something you can take up
if you know you're gonna leave here soon
