Drinking gin, in a hot tub, 4AM

[TomInTib]

I posted this a few days ago. Until then, I had doubts. But the cold rain changed my mind.


Couldn't sleep.

At a cottage in the redwoods, right outside of Larkspur, California.

Up on the hill, no sound but the rain and a snoring dog.

Went outside with a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin, right out of the freezer.

Walked around on the deck, smoking and drinking and thinking.

Rain dripping out of huge trees, just like it has always done.

Just like it has always done.

But something's different, this time.

Really different.

Sitting in 100 degree swirling water, cold raindrops in my hair.

Thinking...

All of those old trees...

That old house...

Will all be new, next week.

Gonna be a New World, America.

Gonna be a New World.

Anyway, that's what I was thinking...

Drinking gin, in a hot tub at 4AM, in the rain.
