Oregon On My Mind
1.
Oregon on my mind:
no unkind smiles,
miles of highway
to get higher and
even hitchhike to
Portland, with Oregon
on my mind.
2.
The first guy skipped
like a spy, looking at
me through the corner
of his eye, lifting my
skirt, more than a flirt:
Oregon on my mind.
3.
Passing Grand Forks, out
of sorts, try, tie, staying
alive on love, bought another
ring in Eugene: Oregon on my
mind.
4.
Kissing the evergreens, a
balancing-act half-backwards:
seducing Mount Hood, a rude
girl picked me up at Corvallis,
her eyes, like the highway, were
twisted: Oregon on my mind.
