I remember when Oregon was a mystery
To me.
I wondered if there was a magical pathway
To the ocean over that there hill.
A place so beuutiful that was a secret to most.
And there were.
Multnomah, Willamette and Couch were weird
words.
I now feel like I have lived here a long time.
And I don’t even live here any more.
