A Trip to New Orleans 
A. Fleury

Let's get in the car, my friend
And drive by the moonlight 
Drinking pop and singing so loud to songs
We love
Let's share our thoughts, and perhaps
A kiss, as we stop at a hotel
Watch cheap movies and then fall asleep
Entwined.

In the morning trees will flash
And we will pass mountains and seas and signs
And other people who are just fleeing like
Us, people who are trapped in the mundane,
People who are killers and saviors.

And finally my love, to the blessed city we arrive
To wander the tombs and streets, to adorn
Each other with beads and flowers, to dance
To wildly convene pagan-like in the throng 
Of others so unlike us. 
But tonight we will be One,
Bond by fun, and laughs, and alcohol and love, and
Life. 

Let's get in the car, my friend, my love
Let's share a kiss before we push into drive
Into the voodoo-den we fly
To lose our way so willingly.
