Discovery of the West
My father describes
An adventurous time
Just before the credit line
Rescued from the draft by childhood infirmity
1965 built a damn for California’s prosperity
Simple stories of work and wonder
A feeling of jealousy
My inquiries do uncover
Like a time traveler
With a busted machine
I’m stranded in a scene
From the future obscene
A small world of facts and figures
At 32 I have far too many answers
